Agriculture is the backbone of every country's economy and has the highest position in providing livelihood to people and ensuring and maintaining the sustainability of ecosystems, however, industrialization and its subsequent effects require modernization of the current agricultural system. In this regard, new information technologies and artificial intelligence provide the best ways to increase agricultural yield. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the use of information technology and wireless communicators and sensors mounted on various objects that have the ability to communicate in real time. The IoT field can control the environment for growing crops, predict the need for fertilizers in the soil, identify plant diseases, and help automate farm machinery to minimize labour-related issues. With this concept in mind, we present a detailed review on IoT in agricultural systems with special emphasis on smart agriculture and cloud computing, sensors and communication platforms, and deep and transfer learning in disease recognition. Prediction of soil temperature and moisture, meteorological events and the onset of pest attacks can solve crop loss problems by alerting the farming community before such unfortunate events begin and before an economic threshold level is reached.
