Integration of Sensors in Precision Farming

  • Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) allow simultaneous monitoring of multiple environmental parameters.
  • IoT-based systems connect sensors to cloud dashboards for real-time decision making.
  • Automation: Data from sensors is directly linked with actuators (fans, foggers, heaters, drip systems).

Decision Support Systems (DSS): Predict pest/disease outbreaks based on microclimate data. 

 

 Criteria for selecting sensors

  • Spatial sampling: Extend, coverage, samplearea/volume
  • Temporal: Turnaround time, temporal resolution
  • Data processing: post processing / real-time
  • Use in management: Predictive / reactive approach
  • Costs, Robustness and Accuracy
  • Handling: User-friendliness & safety
