Abstract Soil health is essential for whirling stale soil into rich coffee-growing land. By keeping healthy soil, coffee producers may improve plant growth, leaf health, buds, cherry and bean quality, and yield. Traditional soil monitoring is tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone. Enhancing the monitoring system using AI-based IoT technologies for quick and precise changes. Integrated soil fertility control system to optimize soil health, maximize efficiency, promote sustainability, and prevent crop threads using real-time data analysis to turn infertile land into fertile land. The RNN-IoT approach uses IoT sensors in the coffee plantation to collect real-time data on soil temperature, moisture, pH, nutrient levels, weather, CO2 levels, EC, TDS, and historical data. Data transmission using a wireless cloud platform. Testing and training using recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and gated recurrent units gathered data for predicting soil conditions and crop hazards. Researchers are carrying out detailed qualitative testing to evaluate the proposed RNN-IoT approach. Utilize counterfactual recommendations for developing alternative strategies for irrigation, fertilization, fertilizer regulation, and crop management, taking into account the existing soil conditions, forecasts, and historical data. The accuracy is evaluated by comparing it to other deep learning algorithms. The utilization of the RNN-IoT methodology for soil health monitoring enhances both efficiency and accuracy in comparison to conventional soil monitoring methods. Minimized the ecological impact by minimizing water and fertilizer utilization. Enhanced farmer decision-making and data accessibility with a mobile application that provides real-time data, AI-generated suggestions, and the ability to detect possible crop hazards for swift action.
