Internet of things (IoT) is a new type of network that combines communication technology, expanded applications, and physical devices. Among them, agriculture is one of the most important areas in the application of the IoT technology, which has its unique requirements and integration features. Compared to the information technology in traditional agriculture, the agricultural IoT mainly refers to industrialized production and sustainable development under relatively controllable conditions. Agricultural IoT applies sensors, RFID, visual capture terminals and other types of sensing devices to detect and collect site information, and with broad applications in field planting, facility horticulture, livestock and poultry breeding, aquaculture and agricultural product logistics. It utilizes multiple information transmission channels such as wireless sensor networks, telecommunications networks and the internet to achieve reliable transmission of agricultural information at multiple scales and intelligently processes the acquired, massive information. The goals are to achieve (i) optimal control of agricultural production process, (ii) intelligent electronic trading of agricultural products circulation, and (iii) management of systematic logistics, quality and safety traceability. This book focuses on three levels of agricultural IoT network: information perception technology, information transmission technology and application technology.

In the changing field of agriculture, "Crop Production: Techniques and Technology" emerges as a necessary guide, providing an in-depth examination of the varied techniques and sophisticated technology that define modern crop farming. This comprehensive book guides readers through the basic ideas, time-tested methodologies, and cutting-edge technology that form the agricultural production environment. The cornerstone of crop cultivation is a thorough assessment of soil management, nutrient optimization, and traditional agricultural techniques that have maintained agriculture for millennia. This investigation sets the setting for a larger discussion on the disruptive influence of precision agriculture, where technology like as GPS, sensors, and data analytics intersect to optimize resource utilization and maximize yields. A fundamental component of the book explores novel methodologies for irrigation, providing insights into the most recent progressions in intelligent irrigation systems and precise water administration. This simultaneously combats the critical global issue of water scarcity and advances sustainable agricultural water management practices. The focal point is Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which promotes comprehensive approaches to pest control by integrating biological, cultural, and mechanical methods. This article examines the incorporation of technology in insect population monitoring and management, with an emphasis on a balanced approach that reduces environmental impact.

The book discusses one of the major challenges in agriculture which is delivery of cultivate produce to the end consumers with best possible price and quality. Currently all over the world, it is found that around 50% of the farm produce never reaches the end consumer due to wastage and suboptimal prices. The authors present solutions to reduce the transport cost, predictability of prices on the past data analytics and the current market conditions, and number of middle hops and agents between the farmer and the end consumer using IoT-based solutions. Again, the demand by consumption of agricultural products could be predicted quantitatively; however, the variation of harvest and production by the change of farm's cultivated area, weather change, disease and insect damage, etc., could be difficult to be predicted, so that the supply and demand of agricultural products has not been controlled properly. To overcome, this edited book designed the IoT-based monitoring system to analyze crop environment and the method to improve the efficiency of decision making by analyzing harvest statistics. The book is also useful for academicians working in the areas of climate changes.
