Precision Agriculture with Centralized IoT-Enabled Greenhouse Management for Sustainable Vanilla Production

Abstract

After saffron, vanilla is the second most significant spice in terms of economic impact worldwide. The vanilla business faces challenges from pests, illnesses, and environmental variables, especially fungal diseases like fusarium wilt and unfavorable climatic circumstances that can significantly reduce productivity and lower bean quality. This study offers a clever remedy that helps all parties involved by identifying and categorizing plant illnesses, predicting vanilla bean growth and quality, vanilla bean market value analysis and future prediction and build cost prediction and improve operational efficiency. Stakeholders can also obtain forecasts for the quality and growth of vanilla beans in the future. Deep learning algorithms are used in the suggested solution to track the location of diseased areas, diagnose and classify plant diseases in real-time, and apply pesticides or growth-regulating chemicals selectively. For sustainable vanilla production, machine learning algorithms are used to forecast yields, advise ideal greenhouse conditions, and recommend the best vanilla beans. In precision agriculture, the types, applications, and monitoring of IoT devices and sensors are also discussed. Data analysis and management, disease and pest control, fertilization and irrigation management, and environmental monitoring are a few examples. The suggested method produced high accuracy rates in identifying illnesses, evaluating bean quality, estimating yields, and optimizing greenhouse conditions in controlled studies using data from vanilla farms and greenhouses. This technology could assist the vanilla business, producers, and sustainable agricultural practices. It could also boost productivity and production of vanilla, decrease yield loss, and maintain constant bean quality with the help of our suggesting vanilla greenhouse application.
