Abstract:In Thailand, “Tabtim Siam” pomelo production is essential for domestic consumption and export. Among several environmental factors, soil moisture is the most important factor for citrus plants’ growth and their fruit quality. During the main developmental stages of these plants, the required soil moisture should be above 70% (no water deficit). Therefore, keeping soil moisture at ≥70% in pomelo orchards is crucial. This study developed an IoT-based smart watering system that efficiently monitors soil moisture … Show more
