A Solar-Powered Fertigation System Based on Low-Cost Wireless Sensor Network Remotely Controlled by Farmer for Irrigation Cycles and Crops Growth Optimization

摘要: Nowadays, the technological innovations affect all human activities; also agriculture field heavily benefits of technologies as informatics, electronic, telecommunication, allowing huge improvements productivity and resources exploitation. This manuscript presents an innovative low cost fertigation system for assisting cultures by using data-processing electronic boards wireless sensors network (WSN) connected to a remote software platform. The proposed receives information related air soil parameters, custom solar-powered WSN. A control unit elaborates acquired data dynamic agronomic models implemented on cloud platform, optimizing amount typology fertilizers well irrigations frequency, function weather forecasts got on-line service.
