REDES DE SENSORES APLICADAS À AGRICULTURA: UMA PROVA DE CONCEITO COM UMA ESTUFA INTELIGENTE

Nowadays, the quantity of water resources demanded by the lack of rainfall that restores it in nature, the contamination of river basins by the man and the waste in its use has caused the government to implement water rationing programs both in the field and in cities, which directly affected rural producers in irrigation of their crops. Being the agriculture is responsible for the use of 70% of the water consumed by man, creating a system that avoids wastage in irrigation would 1 Engenheiro da Computação – Email: arthurcalvi@gmail.com 2 Prof. Msc.da Unidade de Engenharia e Computação da FAESA Centro Universitária – Email: otavio.lube@faesa.br Revista Científica da FAESA, v15, n2 Especial, p 99 120, 2019 100 alleviate water demand by agriculture. This work has the purpose of creating an automatic and intelligent system that irrigates the crops in the right measure and the demand of the crop, favoring their development and consequently avoiding the waste of water. In order for the irrigation system to show responses consistent with the proposal of this work, the environment where the crops are grown must be controlled. For this, the system will be implemented in an intelligent greenhouse where, through sensors and actuators, we can control the temperature and humidity of the ambient air without external interference.
