Smart agriculture : farm irrigation system using IoT

الملخص EN

Due to the increase of development in modern technology which entered in most fields of life including sustainable agriculture; most studies revealed that most lesions result from over irrigation which causes fungi in plant and soil salinity.

Recently; some very important terms emerged and changed most agricultural concepts such as the sustainable agriculture, green cities and smart irrigation systems.

Most of these systems improved the quality of production and reduced lesions.

In this paper a smart irrigation system was designed depending on Field Capacity F.

C value, Wilting Point W.

P value.

In addition to the ranges of moisture that are measured in the field which are important in decision making of irrigation and selecting the best values to rely on such as threshold value in designing for the sake of maintaining moisture in the soil permanently.

The best field moisture value was recorded when designing was % 24 at threshold value in a clay soil field.

Finally; the best types of microcontrollers ESP8266 & ESP-32S and moisture sensors, which are used to upload the data to Adafruit server.

Also, the fast and light Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, was used to transfer the ranges of moisture through the system and cloud computing.
