 INTRODUCTION

 Smart Agriculture is a concept in which information and communication technology is implemented to manage all
the activities and processes related to the agriculture domain. Internet of things has the capability to influence
many of the areas of the world we live in such as advanced industries, smart cities and novel technologies in
connected vehicles (Kamienski, et al., 2017). However, IoT could have an even more significant impact on the
agriculture area. The designed solution described in this paper illustrates an IoT-based smart agriculture system
built to perform crop fields miniaturization based on multiple sensors (for temperature measurements, temperature
of leaves and flower buds, level of oxygen in the soil, shortwave global radiation, UV global radiation, etc.) and to
improve the irrigation system. One of the impacts that the system has is to enhance productivity while keeping the
costs to a minimum.
 As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was
initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are
Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitation of the study and Definition of technical terms.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A INTERNET OF THINGS BASED SMART AGRICULTURE SYSTEM
AIM AND OBJECTIVES

The aim of the study is to design and implement of a Internet of Things (IOT) Based Smart Agriculture
System: In
achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows:

 To accelerate decision performance of IOT based agriculture system;

 To automate all the activities of agriculture management information system;
 To eliminate the steady decline in the management; and
 To design an expert system that will be fast, reliable and be able to make decision.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

 Significance of the Study

 In the event of the above mentioned faults and errors discovered in the manual system. It is believed that the
introduction of an IOT Based Smart Agriculture System will change the whole thing positively to the agriculture
management.
 This study will be of immense benefit to other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be
used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could
serve as a guide for other study.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY

Scope of the Study

The scope of this research is to Design and Implementation of a
Internet of Things (IOT) Based Smart Agriculture System.
JUSTIFICATION

 The new system was implemented using Web Technologies, which are different sets of tools and techniques for creation of web pages which makes up a web application. They are PHP, HTML,
CSS, JAVASCRIPT, MySQL, and BOOTSTRAP.
 PHP: which is an acronym for (Hypertext Preprocessor) was selected as the Server-script scripting. PHP was developed by RasmusLerdorf in 1995 to track the online access of his
personal resume. Since then, the Language has been improved with additional features such as database support for web application development.
 PHP is now widely used around the world in web development due to its numerous strengths. It is an Open Source Language; its extensibility is limitless, flexibility, support Web application and
data manipulation, support Object-Oriented programming which makes it an attractive option for Web developers who prefer OOP concepts. In addition, PHP can be easily embedded into
HTML codes to create interactive and dynamic web page, which makes it especially appropriate for Web development where the PHP code is executed in the Web server which in turn create the
desired web page on the code.
 HTML5: HTML5 an acronym for Hypertext-Markup Language version 5 is a Markup Language used for describing and formatting web pages. It is one of web technology
indispensable tool as it allows text to be structured according to its purpose, as it involves writing code in HTML tags that describes to the browser how the text is to be displayed.
 CSS: CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, it is used for adding aesthetic functions to web pages. CSS also defines how HTML elements are to be displayed.
 JAVASCRIPT: JavaScript is the Client-Side Scripting Language used during the development phase. Unlike PHP which is a Server-Side scripting language, it is most commonly used
as part of web browser whose implementation allow browser to interact with user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously and alter the document content that is displayed,
in form of popup windows to alert users to errors in data entered during validation of input or possible loss of data when a delete operation is executed.
 BOOTSTRAP: Bootstrap is the most popular CSS, JavaScript and HTML framework. It was also used in the development of this project to make it responsive.
 MYSQL: MYSQL an acronym for My Structured Query Language is a relational database management system (also known as SQL Database) which is widely used around the globe
due to it Open-sourced nature. Most SQL servers provide reliability but not ease of use like MySQL. MySQL is platform independent which means it can run on any operating
system.
CONCLUSION

 In essence, the research work was successfully researched to meet the objectives set
at the beginning of the project work. While one cannot completely rule out one form
of limitation or the other, it was a success to a greater extent. On the whole, the
research has been a worthwhile exercise. It has afforded the researcher the
opportunity to really appraise the situation on the ground and allow one to bring out
areas that might need attention for the improvement of the research work.
RECOMMENDATION

 Having met the specified objective of the proposed project and after a profound evaluation of the developed system, I
will like to suggest the following recommendations for further research work and improvement opportunities
 Micro Finance Bank, Federal Polytechnic Nekede should embrace and implement the developed system as it will
improve the conditions of fees payment.
 The Government of Nigeria should enact laws and implement policies that encourage and favor online payments by
citizens in the country.
 The researchers acknowledge that security is a threat to every system and therefore encourage that maximum effort be
dedicated to ensure security of the online transactions through establishment of sound security infrastructure.
 A mobile version of the system should be created to allow user access the system from any device other than a
computer thus improving the mobility of the device.
