        abstract = {In today’s world, the need for smart and efficient agricultural practices has increased due to growing food demand and limited resources. The proposed 5G-enabled smart soil monitoring system uses soil moisture and NPK sensors to monitor soil conditions in real time. The sensors, integrated with an ESP32 microcontroller and enclosed within a sensor unit, collect data related to soil moisture and essential nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. This data is transmitted to the IoT gateway (RUTX50), which provides a wireless network for communication. Users can connect their devices to the gateway’s Wi-Fi and access real-time data through the VVDN dashboard. The system operates automatically once powered, without requiring manual configuration. This approach helps in efficient irrigation and fertilizer management, reduces resource wastage, and improves crop productivity. Overall, the system provides a reliable and scalable solution for precision agriculture using IoT and 5G technology.},
