Automation of irrigation system
For smart agricultural practices, particularly in areas with water scarcity, the automation of irrigation system plays a crucial role. Sensor technology has the ability to maximize the efficiency of water usage to a great extent. These can estimate soil water tension in real-time while being mated to autonomous irrigation controllers. Such features lead to a sustainable irrigation involving evaluation of climate and crop growth aspects, which is otherwise quite difficult to accomplish.
