This book presents recent findings on virtually every aspect of wireless IoT and analytics for agriculture. It discusses IoT-based monitoring systems for analyzing the crop environment, and methods for improving the efficiency of decision-making based on the analysis of harvest statistics. In turn, it addresses the latest innovations, trends, and concerns, as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of IoT and analytics for agriculture. In closing, it explores a range of applications, including: intelligent field monitoring, intelligent data processing and sensor technologies, predictive analysis systems, crop monitoring, and weather data-enabled analysis in IoT agro-systems.

Addresses the complete functional framework workflow in IoT-enabled agro-systems Covers the most important challenges, issues, and advances in IoT agro-systems Explores predictive analysis systems, crop monitoring, and weather data-enabled analysis in IoT agro-systems
