Agriculture unquestionably is one of the traditional occupations, which feeds all mankind in the world. Continuous changes are happening in the agricultural field to increase production. Researchers are applying various techniques to improve farming methods. To monitor plants even from remote places and to improve the yield of plants, Internet of Things (IoT), which is a boon in today's world, is applied in farming, in general, known as smart farming. Smart farming is a way where the farmers can monitor their field and manage farming activities from remote places. This reduces man power and increases resource utilization in farming. In this article, we have studied the architecture of smart farming and studied different smart farming techniques, also we have classified smart farming techniques into three categories, namely, IoT-based agricultural monitoring and controlling system, automatic irrigation system, and plant disease monitoring system. The review for the article is selected based on the systematic literature review method, and articles published from 2011 to 2019 are considered for review. Different IoT technologies such as sensors, gateway, communication system, user interface and experiment nature, plant type, disease type, advantages, and limitations are also reviewed. Future research direction and challenges in smart farming techniques are also discussed. Trans Emerging Tel Tech. 2020;31:e3958. wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/ett Atzori et al 16 presented a survey on IoT techniques. In this article, the architecture, applications, and challenges of IoT technologies were discussed. Various environmental and agricultural monitoring applications were discussed. Zhang et al 17 projected various agricultural data transmission methods in his review article, namely, voice information transmission, short message service (SMS) information transmission, online information transmission, video conference information transmission, and multichannel-based information transmission techniques. Case studies, features, applications, examples, and limitations of various information transmission techniques were discussed. Kamilaris et al 18 projected survey on big data analysis in agriculture. In this article, 34 agriculture works were considered for the study and different features such as tools applied, big data algorithm used, problem and proposed solution implemented, and data used were discussed. The type of plants and experimental duration and advantages and limitation of algorithms were missing. Talavera et al 14 reviewed IoT applications in environment and agroindustrial system. The authors discussed about various IoT techniques involved in monitoring, communication, logistics, energy and resource management in environment monitoring, and agroindustrial system. In this study, the authors approached all the IoT techniques with following two questions: what is the primary technical solution of IoT in environmental monitoring and agroindustrial system and which methodology and IoT components such as sensors, actuato...

Thai government is attempting to enhance agricultural productivity by launching campaign "Thailand 4.0" to educate farmers and raise incomes and improves the living standard of farmers. Thailand 4.0" should be changed to make a major shift from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture by focusing on Smart Farming.. Hydroponics has become popular to grow plant without soil and many studies were shown that plants grown with hydroculture are high quality and consume fewer resources than traditional growing methods. The purposes of the research are to design and develop the automation controlling and monitoring plant growth hydroponics system and evaluate the effect of using this prototype. This system is able to control significant environmental factors that affect plant growth including temperature, humidity, and water. The application system is automatically mixed the selected solution to obtain the desired value and also collects information about the amount of solution mixed at the time of planting and it can be used to estimate the cost of growing vegetables and calculate the profitability of each vegetable to make the decision to grow. This study demonstrates the successful application of plants grown with hydroculture to improve in pH sensor stability and the system works well in the automated mode.

“…However, the system depends on user intervention through the mobile application. Palande et al (2018) [ 22 ] have designed an automated system for indoor hydroponic system using microcontrollers, sensors, and Internet of Things (IoT). The system is capable to control and monitor all the required parameters to have healthy indoor plants growth such as temperature, lights, humidity etc.…”

Growing plants in the gulf region can be challenging as it is mostly desert, and the climate is dry. A few species of plants have the capability to grow in such a climate. However, those plants are not suitable as a food source. The aim of this work is to design and construct an indoor automatic vertical hydroponic system that does not depend on the outside climate. The designed system is capable to grow common type of crops that can be used as a food source inside homes without the need of large space. The design of the system was made after studying different types of vertical hydroponic systems in terms of price, power consumption and suitability to be built as an indoor automated system. A microcontroller was working as a brain of the system, which communicates with different types of sensors to control all the system parameters and to minimize the human intervention. An open internet of things (IoT) platform was used to store and display the system parameters and graphical interface for remote access. The designed system is capable of maintaining healthy growing parameters for the plants with minimal input from the user. The functionality of the overall system was confirmed by evaluating the response from individual system components and monitoring them in the IoT platform. The system was consuming 120.59 and 230.59 kWh respectively without and with air conditioning control during peak summer, which is equivalent to the system running cost of 13.26 and 25.36 Qatari Riyal (QAR) respectively. This system was circulating around 104 k gallons of nutrient solution monthly however, only 8–10 L water was consumed by the system. This system offers real-time notifications to alert the hydroponic system user when the conditions are not favorable. So, the user can monitor several parameters without using laboratory instruments, which will allow to control the entire system remotely. Moreover, the system also provides a wide range of information, which could be essential for plant researchers and provides a greater understanding of how the key parameters of hydroponic system correlate with plant growth. The proposed platform can be used both for quantitatively optimizing the setup of the indoor farming and for automating some of the most labor-intensive maintenance activities. Moreover, such a monitoring system can also potentially be used for high-level decision making, once enough data will be collected. This work presents significant opportunities for the people who live in the gulf region to produce food as per their requirements.
