APPLICATION OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) IN AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY The widespread application of The Internet of Things (IOT) can not only change the extensive management mode in agriculture, but also develop the strength in epidemic control for animals and plants to ensure the safety of the agricultural products quality. So it’s of great significance to intensify research efforts on the application of IOT in agriculture and forestry. In recent years, IOT has been applied in some agriculture and forestry fields. Now we’ll give a basic overview of it. A. Safety of agriculture product The public becomes anxious about the food safety for some frequently occurred agriculture products’ safety accidents in recent years. To minimize the†¦show more content†¦Ratifying UHF (Ultra High Frequency) tags on The United States livestock track-and-trace combined with AIN. NAIS is a voluntary project which gives each Agriculture animal a unique AIN code for tracing work to Department quickly get that animal’s living record when polluted meat or sick livestock occurred. B. Agriculture information transmission and Intelligent Detection First, Modern agriculture cannot develop without information. Information like climate, soil acility and alkalinity, seeds selecting, fertilizer, insects’ control, seeding cultivation and reaping are so vital to farmers. With real-time sensor to monitor crops’ condition in irrigation and soil air and gather data about temperature, humidity, wind force, atmosphere, rainfall capacity, nitrogen concentration and pH value of soil to make correct prediction, it finally helps farmers to cultivating wisely and avoids disasters. Secondly, by making use of IOT technique, we can discover animals’ demand rules for growing environment with observation and analysis on accurate data of their living habits and health conditions. Thirdly, by using IOT technique to monitor forest environment, a forest fire alarm system can be
