Abstract

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a crucial approach to sustainable agricultural cultivation, particularly in drylands that are vulnerable to attacks by plant pests (OPT). Advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technology offer opportunities to increase the effectiveness of IPM through real-time environmental monitoring, early detection of attack symptoms, and selective intervention. This study reviews literature related to the use of IoT in pest control in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), mung bean (Vigna radiata), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), and cassava (Manihot esculenta) cultivation, both from global and national studies. The analysis results indicate that IoT implementation can be carried out through a combination of temperature and humidity sensors, visual cameras, geographic information systems (GIS), and cloud platforms. The main obstacles to implementation include limited infrastructure and farmers' digital literacy. The findings emphasize the need for a phased and integrative approach, taking into account infrastructure and human resource readiness. This study provides the basis for developing data-driven policies to encourage effective and sustainable IoT adoption in drylands.
