Description: Agriculture is a key sector when it comes to the economy of most Asian countries including Sri Lanka. During the last decade, use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) for agriculture has become an emerging research area. It is noteworthy to mention that application of the Internet of Things (IoT) has come a long way in the field of agriculture. Here we’re focusing on the development of an Internet of Things based mobile phone application that can be used to increase the latex yield in Rubber trees, which is very crucial as Rubber continues to be one of the leading export crops of Sri Lanka. The conceptual system considers a number of variables such as Humidity, Temperature, Soil Nutrient Levels & Soil pH Value etc. with prominence given to Humidity & Temperature. There is great potential in this solution due to its cost effectiveness, user friendly interface & portability. Users (Land Owners & Laborers) will be able to access the system as & when they wish by installing the mobile application in their smartphones. The app will notify users about the ideal time of the day to engage in tapping which guarantees the maximum rubber latex yield.
