The system will provide farmers with real-time data on soil moisture, air temperature, and rainfall, allowing them to make informed decisions. Sensors will collect this information, which will be analyzed and presented simply through a web or mobile app. Early simulations suggest that this system could boost crop yields by as much as 15% and cut water use and costs by 20%. These findings point to the IoT monitoring system as a practical means to enhance rice farming's efficiency and productivity. Yet, there are hurdles. Issues like poor network infrastructure, high costs of implementation, and the farmers' ability to adapt to this technology need to be overcome for the system to work properly.
