Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) plays an important role in the agricultural sectors because it provides benefits such as crop development and production improvement. As there are various articles that show their usefulness, the purpose of this work is to systematically analyze them to extract data on IoT systems focused on monitoring agricultural crops. As part of the review protocol, four questions were posed aimed at learning more about the way in which monitoring is carried out, the components used, the functionalities, and the data collected by the devices. Using four of the popular databases in the area, 41 articles were selected. From the data extraction it was possible to know the use of IoT devices with a certain preference towards mobile applications and a tendency to use the following components: ESP8266, YL-69, DTH-1 and Arduino. In addition, among the identified functionalities we can mention the soil monitoring, the growth and the crop yield, the invasion of animals, automatic irrigation, among others. Finally, several tens of types of data collected by the devices such as environmental parameters and soil characteristics were found. All these data help in the characterization of the IoT systems of interest and can serve as a basis for the development of others.
