“…In South Africa, where the internet is less accessible, Singels and Smith (2006) report on a system to provide advice on irrigation scheduling to small-scale sugarcane farmers via cell phone, a technology that is much more readily available. Similarly, Antonopoulou et al (2009) created a personalized spatial model that incorporates policy, market, environmental, and agronomic information to the user via cell phone in Greece. In areas where agroecological monitoring may not be available, web crawlers 'mine' data from websites to provide information on the changing state of the system (Galaz et al 2009).…”

Information on the life-cycle environmental impacts of agricultural production is often limited. As demands grow for increasing agricultural output while reducing its negative environmental impacts, both existing and novel data sources can be leveraged to provide more information to producers, consumers, scientists and policy makers. We review the components and organization of an agroecological sensor web that integrates remote sensing technologies and in situ sensors with models in order to provide decision makers with effective management options at useful spatial and temporal scales for making more informed decisions about agricultural productivity while reducing environmental burdens. Several components of the system are already in place, but by increasing the extent and accessibility of information, decision makers will have the opportunity to enhance food security and environmental quality. Potential roadblocks to implementation include farmer acceptance, data transparency and technology deployment.

“…The existence of mobile technology results in user-friendly and ubiquitous systems with the enhancement of wireless transmission speeds and wide range coverage. Although applying Web architecture (Antonopoulou et al, 2010) may be convenient universal accessibility, many customized features toward mobile applications are fruitful, such as user-friendly interfaces, multisensor capabilities, real-time notification services, and global positioning functions via GPS.…”

“…Short message service (SMS) is increasingly used in irrigation advice, because it sends information in a simplified format, from a technology that is assimilated in rural areas, providing solutions for famers that have difficulty in accessing information via computer software and the Internet. Car et al (2012), developed a decision support system for irrigation scheduling that sends information daily to the mobile phones of irrigators in Australia, called IrriSatSMS and Antonopoulou et al (2010) developed mafic-DSS, a system sending information via SMS that assists Greek farmers in choosing crops and monitoring them throughout the production cycle.…”

In remote areas, especially in the north-east of Brazil, small farmers have difficulty in accessing information and obtaining technical assistance on irrigation. The purpose of this paper is to develop a decision support system for irrigation water management via SMS, called IGmanejo, that offers information and irrigation advice on the farmer’s mobile phone. Simulations were performed to evaluate water savings based on current and historical data comparing the values obtained by FAO CropWat 8.0 software. The greater water savings observed in the cycle that began in the transition season showed a reduction of 26%. The proposed software showed that it is able to reduce water waste in agriculture and send simple and quality irrigation advice to remote areas with a technology already assimilated in rural areas, that is, the mobile phone.
