| Abstract | This research article explores the Internet of Things (IoT) in organic agriculture, focusing on data monitoring. The IoT devices and connected technologies have created new opportunities for agricultural providers to monitor and gather data across traditional farm settings. This study presents the development of a custom IoT device equipped with various sensors, air temperature, humidity and soil moisture sensors, to continuously monitor hydrology and soil data. Data collected from these devices are securely transmitted to Google sheet file and NETPIE2020 for real-time analysis. The article discusses the technical aspects of the IoT device, the data transmission and storage infrastructure and the implementation algorithms for predictive soil moisture data. Furthermore, the results of a pilot study in which the IoT device was tested on a group of organic agriculture. The study demonstrates the potential of IoT in improving outcomes, reducing time and enhancing the quality of data through continuous remote monitoring. The findings of this research suggest that IoT has the potential to revolutionize the agriculture industry by providing proactive and personalized solutions. The results efficiency evaluation results by 5 experts show that a total mean of 3.86 and a standard deviation of 0.30. Our study optimal soil moisture levels for rice cultivation in Chainat Province, providing guidelines for maintaining these levels to maximize yield. Furthermore, the research extends the data collection period to analyze the impact of temperature and humidity on rice growth, valuable insights into how these environmental factors interact with soil moisture to influence crop health (30-40%). The practical benefits and effectiveness of the IoT system, user-friendly guidelines and tools are developed to support farmers in making data-driven decisions, ensuring successful adoption and utilization of the technology. |
