In the past few years, the Web of Things (WOT) became a beneficial game-changing technology within the Agriculture domain as it introduces innovative and promising solutions to the Internet of Things (IoT) agricultural applications problems by providing its services. WOT provides the support for integration, interoperability for heterogeneous devices, infrastructures, platforms, and the emergence of various other technologies. The main aim of this study is about understanding and providing a growing and existing research content, issues, and directions for the future regarding WOT-based agriculture. Therefore, a systematic literature review (SLR) of research articles is presented by categorizing the selected studies published between 2010 and 2020 into the following categories: research type, approaches, and their application domains. Apart from reviewing the state-of-the-art articles on WOT solutions for the agriculture field, a taxonomy of WOT-base agriculture application domains has also been presented in this study. A model has also presented to show the picture of WOT based Smart Agriculture. Lastly, the findings of this SLR and the research gaps in terms of open issues have been presented to provide suggestions on possible future directions for the researchers for future research.
