Abstract
By keeping in view the sudden impact of natural calamities, red spot disease and lack of proper tree health monitoring system - majority of the coconut growers today started giving up coconut farming and opting for aqua culture and other sources of livelihood n countries like India. As the smart farming applications are gaining research ground to deliver round the clock visibility into soil and crop health-design of Intelligent IOT based smart coconut tree health monitoring devices are proposed since usage of intelligent tree health monitoring systems (devices) makes the task of coconut farming still easier. The proposed system of cloud based server and mobile based device helps users to monitor and control the health status of trees by means of the hardware devices installed. Development of a remote monitoring system to continuously monitor soil moisture of the plants based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is also integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) to achieve desired objectives.
