SMAIoT-ferti: a smart cropland monitoring and optimal fertigation IoT system

This paper addresses the challenges of dwindling agricultural resources by proposing a smart agriculture solution utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology. We advocate for the integration of IoT sensors to monitor soil, air, water, and fertilizer levels. The key innovation is a smart fertilization module, reducing the need for direct farmer intervention through research-backed automation. The paper outlines implementation steps and presents successful results, emphasizing the potential of this approach to enhance sustainability, optimize resource usage, and contribute to economic growth.
