VIDYA VIKAS INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering Sl. No. Title, Author, Year Summary Limitation /Gaps 1 IOT BASED SMART PLANT MONITORING SYSTEM Rohit Kumar*1, Shubh Sankalp *2, Mayank Dabas *3, Shristy Goswami *42023 This paper discusses the impact of the Internet of Things ( IoT ) on modern life and its applications in agriculture, particularly in automating irrigation to address water scarcity. It describes a system using various sensors to monitor soil conditions, such as temperature, moisture, and humidity, and an Arduino UNO microcontroller to automate watering based on these measurements. This approach aims to reduce water waste, increase efficiency, and improve farming practices by leveraging IoT technology. The limitations of this paper include a lack of detailed analysis on the scalability of the proposed IoT -based irrigation system, potential challenges in implementation, such as costs and technical skills required, and the absence of field test results to validate the effectiveness of the system in real-world agricultural settings. Additionally, the paper may not address potential cybersecurity risks associated with IoT devices in agriculture. 2 Design of An IoT based Smart Plant Monitoring SystemApeksha Rane , Bhushan Vidhale , Priyanka Hemant Kale, Ganesh Khekare2022 This paper discusses an IoT -based plant monitoring system that uses sensors to measure soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and hazardous gases. The system automatically controls a water pump based on soil moisture levels, turning it on or off as needed. Data collected by the sensors is transmitted to an IoT cloud via Wi-Fi, stored in a Google Firebase Real-time database, and visualized using AWS server tools. The system aims to optimize plant care by automating irrigation and monitoring environmental conditions. The limitations of this paper include a lack of real-world implementation and validation, potential issues with the reliability and accuracy of the sensors over time, the dependency on continuous internet connectivity for cloud-based monitoring, and the absence of discussion on potential cybersecurity threats. Additionally, the paper does not address the cost and technical expertise required for setting up and maintaining such a system.
