Abstract

A large amount of water is wasted in agriculture today due to inefficient irrigation techniques. By monitoring the soil moisture of crops and the pH level of the irrigation water, not only can water be conserved, but healthier plants can also be cultivated. Even though several smart watering systems have been proposed, currently none of the proposed systems consider both the pH of irrigation water and soil moisture together. This research proposes an IoT-Based Smart Watering System (IBSWS) which addresses both of these concerns by using pH and soil moisture sensors to take real-time data and process it through a cloud environment using microcontrollers. This enables continuous monitoring of soil moisture and pH levels. In addition, IBSWS implements a mobile app for farmers who use the system to monitor and control the irrigation system as well as the crop environment. The IBSWS prototype demonstrates that the use of sensors and WiFi-enabled microcontrollers over a cloud environment can be used to implement such a system and properly manage crop irrigation.

面向提高农业灌溉效率的物联网智能灌溉系统

由于低效的灌溉技术，今天在农业上浪费了大量的水。通过监测作物的土壤湿度和灌溉水的pH值，不仅可以节约用水，还可以培育更健康的植物。尽管已经提出了几种智能灌溉系统，但目前没有一种提出的系统同时考虑灌溉水的pH值和土壤湿度。本研究提出了一种基于物联网的智能浇水系统(IBSWS)，该系统通过使用pH值和土壤湿度传感器获取实时数据并通过使用微控制器的云环境对其进行处理，从而解决了这两个问题。这样可以连续监测土壤湿度和pH值。此外，IBSWS还为使用该系统的农民提供了一个移动应用程序，用于监测和控制灌溉系统以及作物环境。IBSWS原型表明，在云环境中使用传感器和支持wifi的微控制器可以用来实现这样一个系统，并适当地管理作物灌溉。
