What is a smart irrigation system using IoT for precision agriculture?
In the modern, ever-changing era, a significant transformation is noticed with the integration of cutting-edge technologies in the agriculture field. The smart irrigation system using IoT stands out as a revolutionary method for water use efficiency and works as a contributor to sustainable development goals (SDG) that enhances precision. The amount of water required for a crop can be affected by various factors, including soil texture, soil moisture content, rainfall, and past irrigations. The Water Production Function (WPF) estimates output, whether in terms of dry material or marketable production, using irrigation water (IW) or evapotranspiration. This blog explores the concept, function, and benefits of developing efficient irrigation systems, as well as the important IoT layers and communication protocols. Smart Irrigation Systems: Smart irrigation systems are cutting-edge technologies tailored to improve crop watering efficiency and automate the process. Weath...
