Title: IoT-Enabled Pest and Disease Detection in Crops

Background:

Pests and crop diseases can cause devastating losses for farmers, often spreading before they are detected. IoT-based systems can monitor crops in real-time, using sensors and AI to identify early signs of infestation or disease, enabling timely interventions.

Importance:

Early detection reduces the need for chemical pesticides, minimizes crop losses, and leads to healthier produce. This contributes to more sustainable agricultural practices while improving farmers’ profitability and food security.

Challenges:
