Abstract
The burgeoning effects of climate change to the agricultural systems have resulted in reduced agricultural productivity. These extreme weather events, changes, and increased in temperatures and precipitation patterns can be countervailed by deploying precision farming technologies in this milieu of a cyber-physical system. Among the precision farming technologies is the application of Internet of things (IoT) devices and sensors in farming management by observation, measurement, response, and monitoring of the food and horticulture crops inter- and intra-field variability. This chapter presents the rudimentary and recent advances in Agriculture 4.0. This chapter also afforded the deployment of an Internet of things (IoT)-based precision agriculture technology using wireless sensor networks (WSN) in crop management. An online crop management system (OCMS) was developed to complement the IoT platform layer. The application aimed at providing the farm environmental conditions including the temperature, water level, pH value, and dissolved oxygen measurements from the paddy field with food crops and horticulture crops being grown. Further studies could be done by analyzing the inter- and intra-field variabilities such as soil herbicide weed control, side dressing, late blight control, and haulm killing.
