| dc.description.abstract | The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in fertigation systems has the potential to revolutionize agricultural practices. By collecting and analyzing data in real-time, IoT can help farmers optimize the use of water, fertilizers, and other resources. This can lead to increased crop yields, better crop quality, and reduced environmental impact. Fertigation is the process of draining fertilizer with water directly into the plant through a fertilizer drip pipe. Traditional agricultural practices can waste a lot of time and involve a lot of labor. The biggest issue with conventional fertigation is that consumers cannot effectively monitor their plants, which can cause plants to die from nutrient deficiency. The project will develop an IoT-based fertigation system for any farm scale size. The system will collect data on soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient levels. This data will be used to control the irrigation and flushing systems of fertilizers or other nutrients as needed. The results of this project will demonstrate the potential of IoT to improve agricultural practices. The system will be developed using low-cost open-source hardware and software. This will allow other farmers to replicate the system and benefit from the advantages of IoT. | |
