We can improve the sector of agriculture with the use of the internet of things based Smart Farming techniques it improves the whole agri-business by keeping an eye on the field in real-time. Sensors has a very vital role in for the interconnectivity and data gathering, IoT device not only provided new techniques for the farmers but it also increased the time-management of the farmers. With the use of the IoT’s now farmers require lesser time on field as IoT powered devices are working for him/her. It reduced the workload of farmers as well as the wastage of many useful resources like water used for irrigation and electricity usage, as it required for the working of so many electrical appliances. IoT devices can easily be used to monitor the real time applications. IoT has the potential to new shape the world so that agriculture will be smart agriculture. We want to control everything from the far way, for example, irrigation, temperature, etc. so we have to use WSN, Wi-Fi or ZigBee modules for controlling the crops. This paper aims to address the use of Internet of Things in the field of agriculture sector.
