Sistema de riego automatizado para un cultivo de pequeña superficie

Small-scale farming is an emerging trend that seeks not only to raise awareness about self-sustainability but also to promote responsible agricultural practices, reduce the ecological footprint, and encourage the consumption of fresh and local food. One identified issue is the lack of automation, especially in irrigation. In this context, the objective of the project is to design an automated irrigation system using the Internet of Things, managed through a mobile application. The methodology used was based on service project design, incorporating techniques such as strategic planning, needs analysis, and resource management. Sensors and sprinklers adapted to the terrain were distributed, collecting data on soil moisture, pH, and temperature. This information was stored in the cloud for consultation and management via a mobile device. The results of the system show greater efficiency in rational water use, higher productivity, reduced manual labor, real-time remote monitoring, and the collection of historical data to enhance future agricultural practices. This approach not only optimizes resources but also promotes more sustainable and environmentally conscious farming.
