1. A method of enhancing photosynthesis using IoT, the method comprising:
obtaining data related to at least one crop and at least one location;
extracting respective crop features and location features from the obtained data;
determining at least one of photosynthetic rate potential, photosynthetic rate limiting conditions, and potential loss for the at least one crop at the location based on the extracted crop features and location features;
presenting to a user, through a user interface, the determined at least one of photosynthetic rate potential, photosynthetic rate limiting conditions, and potential loss for the at least one crop at the location as statistical probabilities of occurrence and quantified effects; and
calculating ameliorative actions based on the determined at least one of photosynthetic rate potential, photosynthetic rate limiting conditions, and potential loss for the at least one crop at the location.
