Abstract

This chapter delves into the pivotal role of smart sensors in revolutionizing agriculture through smart farming practices. It begins by defining smart farming and elucidating the significance of smart sensors in this domain. An overview of smart sensors, including their types, functions, advantages, and limitations, is presented. The chapter elaborates on the multifaceted roles of smart sensors in smart farming, encompassing environmental monitoring, precision irrigation, water management, and crop health surveillance. It emphasizes sensor applications such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, light, water level, flow, and disease detection sensors. Furthermore, it explores the integration of smart sensors into farming systems, highlighting sensor networks, communication technologies, data collection, analysis, and automation for decision support systems. Case studies illustrate successful implementations of smart sensors in crop production, livestock farming, and greenhouse agriculture.
