Sensing and Decision Support for Enhanced Productivity and Sustainability in Precision Agriculture
Project Overview: At the forefront of agricultural technology, our project is dedicated to harnessing the power of sensor-based decision support systems. This innovative approach aims to significantly enhance both productivity and sustainability in farming practices.
Core Features:
- Sensor Fusion for Soil Water Dynamics: We implement cutting-edge sensor fusion techniques to meticulously track spatial soil water dynamics. This integration of diverse sensor data provides a comprehensive understanding of soil moisture levels, which is crucial for effective water management and crop health.
- Mobile Soil Electrical Conductivity (EC) Data Integration: Our system utilizes mobile sensors to gather soil electrical conductivity data. This information is crucial for understanding soil properties, which directly influence crop growth and yield.
- Point Soil Water Sensor Data: Alongside EC data, we employ point soil water sensors. These sensors offer precise and localized moisture measurements, enabling tailored irrigation strategies that reduce water usage while maximizing crop productivity.
Impact:
Our approach not only enhances farm productivity but also advocates for environmental sustainability. By optimizing resource usage and adapting to the precise needs of crops, we pave the way for a more efficient and responsible agricultural future
