“…However, the traditional way of watering the crop may cause a waste of water resources, time, and energy consumption and is even costly as everything is manual. The waste of water resources usually happens to the normalize practice by most farmers to over-irrigate the crop field because of low cost of water on high value crops [2]. Fig.…”

The new Covid-19 pandemic is affecting many economic sectors, such as the agricultural industry. The farmers faced many challenging constraints during the pandemic due to the enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO), resulting the unproductive crops. This paper proposed smart agriculture adopted with the Internet of Things (IoT) and Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) technology to be one of the possible solutions for the problems. Early precautions will minimize unproductive crops by monitoring the soil for healthy crops by monitoring the moisture and the pH level of the soil in real time. In this paper, a soil monitoring system using (Long-range) LoRa technology as one of the solutions for LPWAN to monitor the soil for agriculture has been set up. The soil moisture and pH sensors used to monitor the condition of the soil. The monitoring system uses LoRa as the communication network for the two sensors integrated into the Arduino Uno microcontroller as the transmitter and a receiver to monitor the status of the soil. This project enables the user to monitor the soil conditions and control the watering of the crops. The result concludes that this system shows 100% accuracy of the packet data received by the receiver, where the location of transmitter to the receiver was 1.4 meters apart.

“…One of the most common structurally unstable soils in Uzbekistan is loess soil. Loess soils, when exposed to water, significantly lose their strength characteristics, physical and mechanical properties, and change their original structure [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. These changes in soil are referred to as subsidence.…”

Loess and loess-like soils, when exposed to water, lose their strength characteristics, and physical and mechanical properties and change their original structure. The stress-strain state is transformed in these soils when wetted. Therefore, the problem of building on loess soils and studying the mechanisms of subsidence of loess soils is relevant. In this article, we consider the problem of determining the subsidence and stress state of the loess soil stratum under its own weight on a limited wetted area. To determine the distribution of water in soil, the method of changing stationary states is used, and to determine the subsidence and stress state, the finite difference method is used. The initial conditions are obtained by solving problems for the natural wetting of the layers of loess soil. The numerical results obtained of the subsidence of the free surface of the layer of loess soil 40 m thick agree well with experimental data on the duration of wetting at a limited size of the source of water. The effect of the duration and moisture content on the process of subsidence and transformation of the stress state are determined. An increase in the size of the water source in soil led to an increase in the high moisture content of the area and an increase in the subsidence of the free surface of loess soil.

“…The study's goals are to (1) identify the soil series in Perlis, and classify the soil series into soil texture, (2) calculate the soil series' FC, PWP, and PAW, and (3) quantify the uncertainty of PAW. The current work was extended from Goh and Fadhli [18].…”

Hydrological cycle is affecting the recycling of water in the human sphere. A smaller scale of the environment like Perlis state is also in constant exchange of water with its surrounding environment like atmospheric air, soil, groundwater, lake, and river. This study focusses on the Perlis state soil. Water enters the soil because of rainfall event. The event is known as water infiltration. However, human activities like irrigation have speed up the exchange of water in the soils resulting not only bulk water movement but also chemical transports such as pesticide, herbicide, nutrients, and other soluble substances. This study is intended study the water carrying capacity of the Perlis soils, i.e. field capacity, permanent wilting point, and plant available water to demonstrate the amount of water that can be supplied to the soil without any wastage. The study identifies ten soil series in Perlis state that can be broadly divided into five categories. Among the soil series, Chengai, Kangar, Hutan, Sogomana, Gajah Mati, Kundor, and Tualang soil series were found to constitute the highest plant available water that it could store more water for crop usage than the other soil series. Also, the study investigates the uncertainty of plant available water caused by different input parameters within one standard deviation. The study concludes that crop irrigation at field capacity was necessary to avoid water wastage than irrigation at fully saturated soil water content.
