Acclimatization of the Growth of Brassica Juncea to Temperature Stress: Future of IoT Technology in Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

Agriculture and global warming are correlated with each other, particularly, it may affect nutrient cycles, microbial 
activities, and physiological activities of the crops. Agricultural development plays a crucial role in the growth of the 
economy of developing countries. The agriculture sector is a major source of employment in most of the developing 
countries. Over the year, there were changes and productivity loss due to the abiotic stresses and imbalance of nutrients of 
the plants. A continuous increase in temperature may affect the yields of crops up to 17%. Each plant has different 
characteristics in growth and some plants are susceptible to high temperature, some are quite the opposite. A Brassica 
Juncea L. belongs to a mustard family Brassicaceae or Cruciferae that are susceptible to high temperature. So, in this work, 
an attempt has been made for Brassica Juncea L. to grow and yield under temperature stress by controlling the temperature 
with the use of the Internet of Things (IoT). The experiment has been conducted where Brassica Juncea neither production 
nor consumption. IoT sensors are used to monitor the temperature and humidity in two different scenarios. This paper 
analyses the factors that affect the growth of Brassica Juncea and provide a solution to increase productivity.
