The agricultural sector serves as a fundamental cornerstone of the economies of numerous countries, necessitating technological advancements despite limited financial resources. The Internet of Things (IoT) presents a novel aspect within the field of soil health monitoring, which has significant implications for advancing smart agriculture and farming practices. Integrating conventional agricultural practices with cutting-edge technologies, such as the IoT and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), can foster Smart Agriculture (SA). This paper presents IoT Integration for Enhanced Turmeric Cultivation (IoT-ETmC) in the context of SA. The TurmFox IoT and Edge-to-Cloud (ETC) technology can analyze gathered data and send it to the user through internet connectivity. The work involves the implementation of TurmFox in experiments focused on turmeric cultivation. The results demonstrate a notable improvement in the quality of turmeric as a direct outcome of this intervention. The curcumin levels in the given product are notably higher, ranging from 4450 to 5450 mg per 120g. This paper also aims to demonstrate the intuitive configuration of sensor-to-actuator connections for implementing desired SA. The real-time data obtained from Turmfox provides information on the pH values, moisture levels, and temperature, allowing for observing dynamic variations in environmental conditions within the specified period. The pH level was 6.5 at 09:00, with a moisture content of 51 g/m3 and a temperature of 293 K.
