Farmers Slash Water Use, Boost Crop Yields with Smart Irrigation System
The article discusses an improved way to manage irrigation in agriculture to save water and ensure plant health. Traditional methods of irrigation can lead to water wastage and may not meet the needs of plants. The researchers suggest a new approach that combines soil moisture levels with weather conditions like temperature, humidity, and precipitation forecasts. By using sensors to measure soil moisture and weather data, farmers can adjust irrigation in real-time to meet plant requirements. This method helps prevent overwatering and ensures efficient water use based on plant needs and environmental factors. By integrating technology and weather predictions, farmers can optimize irrigation practices and reduce water waste.
