With the advancement of communication technology, many innovative applications have developed in agriculture as a result of the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), leading to the modernization of agriculture. This study seeks to propose an effective and low-cost platform for comprehensive monitoring of environmental parameters using IoT and drones.The preparation of this paper was based on a platform that was tested in a realistic environment on a farm near the city of Al-Median in Tunisia, where the platform was built to suit the realistic environment of a farm in Baghdad, through the use of sensors above and below the ground, which meets the experimental work and standards for automated and real-time monitoring. For environmental standards, the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model was used, which is a model based on four basic elements: 1) expected performance, 2) expected effort, 3) social impact, and 4) facilitating conditions for obtaining results. The unique integration of IoT sensors with drones has shown impressive experimental results, indicating the possibility of performing both automatic and manual actions by humans. These smart moves contribute significantly to promoting precision agriculture, leading to a significant increase in agricultural production and conservation of natural resources.
