Comparative analysis of sensors for precision agriculture in IoT

Precision agriculture refers to a system that minimizes direct involvement of the farmer, except when there is an urgent need. IoT aids in maintaining defined standards of parameters required for optimal agricultural practices. These parameters are measured using specific sensors and uploaded to an IoT cloud for remote monitoring.

This comparison entails a comparative analysis of different sensors applicable in precision agriculture, utilizing measuring parameters, output data type, protocol used, power consumption, tolerance, and operating temperature range as criteria..
