Current status of Bangladesh agriculture
Over dependency on climate factor
 Temperature:
 A study shows that 10◦C increase in temperature at vegetative,
reproductive and ripening stages can result in a decrease in Aman rice
production by 2.94, 53.06 and 17.28 tons respectively [3], [4].
 Production loss for wheat and potato may exceed 60% if temperature
changes [4].

Current status of Bangladesh agriculture
 Over dependency on climate factor
 Rainfall:
 Less rainfall will lead to decrease in moisture content of topsoil
 Excessive rainfall may result in flooding and water logging.
 A study shows that 1mm increase in rainfall at vegetative, reproductive
and ripening stages can result in a decrease in Aman rice
production by 0.036, 0.230 and 0.292 tons respectively [3], [4].
Current status of Bangladesh agriculture
 Aquaculture:
 According to a study [8] fisheries sector helped to reduce poverty by
2.1%.
 Fisheries contribute 3.7% to country’s overall GDP and 23% to
agricultural GDP [8].
 Livestock:

  • 22. Proposed application of IoT in agriculture in Bangladesh Weather forecast  Big data analytics tool can be used to analyze weather data to reduce agricultural risk  Life cycle of pests can be monitored using weather data and control outbreaks
  • 23. Proposed application of IoT in agriculture in Bangladesh  Livestock Monitoring  RFID technology can be used to track the position of the animal to prevent livestock theft.  Tracking and monitoring an animal’s location can help a farmer to locate a sick animal and recognize the movement patterns for each if appears abnormal.  Greenhouse  self-regulating, micro-climate controlled environment for optimal plant growth  Critical climatic conditions are collected in real time and transmitted through wireless sensor network.
  • 24. Conclusion  Limitation of IoT proposed application  Reliable Internet Connection  Cost  Power failure  Unemployment  Training farmers
