Design and implementation of smart farming system for fig using connected-argonomics

Abstract

<span lang="EN-US">This paper proposes a design and implementation approach of smart farming system using connected-agronomics technique for fig farm application. Nowadays, fig plants having a rapid growth in the current market demand due to its rich in natural health benefiting nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins where some farming systems have been used in maintaining fig plant’s environmental resources to grow without fail. Smart farming is a system applied to provide user with real time information and plan for desired plant such as time intervals for watering systems. There are two major problems on maintaining the fig fruit quality; watering system fail during emergency blackout and a contagious disease known as leaf rust due to external environments. The system implements two microcontrollers, the Arduino Uno & Raspberry Pi along with smartphone Android application. The system performance is evaluated based on the requirement specification, irrigation soil, surrounding temperature and moisture. It is found that all data collected by the sensors are within the optimal range of values, which are 1500 µS/cm to 1599 µS/cm for the EC reading of the fertilizer while 6.0 to 6.5 for the pH value of the soil. This prototype of smart farming was well developed and can be applied to the fig plantation environment.</span>

An intelligent irrigation system based on internet of things (IoT) to minimize water loss

“…In the future, we can derive new ideas to develop our work such as smart urban farming service concept based on an open IoT platform [32], [33]. Using open source IoT platform such as (NodeMcu, Node Red, and message queue telemetry transport (MQTT)) [34].…”

“…In precision agriculture, also widely known as smart farming; growth quality, disease management, farm resources management, and yield has been extensively studied [7]- [11]. These have led to sustainable crop yield [12] which then contribute to the economic growth of the society [10], [13]- [15]. Water is a fundamental element [16] that is required by all living organisms.…”
