Project description
The need for automation in agriculture has become increasingly apparent, particularly in managing water content in seedling beds. This study investigates the automation of irrigation in conventional, bottom-irrigated cabbage seedling beds, aiming to maintain optimal moisture levels to ensure healthy plant growth while minimizing labor. Key components of the system included: Volumetric Water Content Sensors: Placed on water-absorbing mats to monitor soil moisture levels in real-time. WIZnet WIZ550io Ethernet Module: Enabled real-time data communication, ensuring timely and accurate irrigation…
