An overview of IoT based intelligent irrigation systems for greenhouse: Recent trends and challenges

Abstract

Food security is an issue that arises as a result of the rising population since population growth decreases agricultural land, leading to water scarcity. Agriculture requires large amounts of water, but water scarcity forces farmers to irrigate their crops with little or low-quality water, leading to the idea of developing smart irrigation. The challenge is how to manage the interactions between plants, growing media, microclimate, and water using manufactured systems. Good irrigation management will minimize the occurrence of poor irrigation design. This review is a way to present various methods and approaches for using sensors, controllers, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence in irrigation systems with a focus on improving water use efficiency. The study uses SCOPUS indexed publications and proceedings to study the evolution of irrigation information technology over the last eleven years. We hope this review can serve as a source of information to broaden the validity of the findings of irrigation monitoring and control technologies and help researchers identify future research directions on this subject.

AN IoT-ENABLED DESIGN FOR REAL-TIME WATER QUALITY MONITORING AND CONTROL OF GREENHOUSE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

“…When the TDS value is less than 1000 ppm, an AB Mix solution is added to reach the required TDS value (Setyawan, Nugrohoa, Febyana, & Pramono, 2022). When the pH level is outside of the range of 5.5 to 6.5, an alternative solution is used for the best control (Ardiansah, Bafdal, Bono, Suryad, & Nurhasanah, 2022). As soon as the water quality is good enough for greenhouse plants, it is let out until the storage tank is empty.…”

A Study of Irrigation Management in Smart Farming and IoT for Greenhouse Tomato Production

“…Overall, the greenhouse sector is essential to modern-day agriculture because it permits the continuous, ecologically sound, and financially feasible growth of superior crops all year round [16]. Greenhouse farmers can optimize crop development and yield while curtailing squandering and undesirable environmental impacts using advanced technology and techniques.…”

“…Today's smart greenhouses equip farmers with data for informed decision-making on sowing, fertilizing, irrigating, and harvesting crops, allowing them to enhance resource allocation by discerning trends and patterns in crop growth and environmental conditions via data analytics and machine learning algorithms [1], [47]. Growing tomatoes in an smart greenhouse can increase yield and quality, reduce waste, and improve sustainability, with an innovative greenhouse already having increased crop yields and efficiency, while future innovations in this area are expected to achieve even higher levels of success [16], [59].…”

Implementasi Perangkat Otomasi Pada Brooder Listrik Ayam Sentul Dengan Informasi Berbasis Push Notifications

“…Salah satu bentuk usaha peningkatan efisiensi menggunakan sistem pengendali pada bidang peternakan yaitu penggunaan brooder untuk ayam secara otomatis berbasis mikrokontroler dan monitoring yang terintegrasi dengan teknologi push notifications. Tujuan dari pembuatan sistem pengendali yang terpadu ini adalah untuk mempermudah dalam proses monitoring dan pengendalian sehingga dapat mempermudah di dalam pengawasan dan penjagaan suhu tanpa harus melakukan campur tangan manusia secara langsung [10], [11].…”
