Smart Irrigation System for Precision Farming

Abstract- Water scarcity and inefficient irrigation methods challenge modern agriculture, necessitating of smart solutions for sustainable water management. This paper presents a Long Range(LoRa)-based smart irrigation system for precision farming, integrating soil moisture sensors, weather data, and IoT-based control mechanisms to optimize irrigation dynamically. LoRa technology enables long-range, low-power communication, making the system ideal for remote agricultural fields. Real-time data transmission ensures precise irrigation, reducing water wastage and enhancing crop yield. The proposed system is a cost-effective, scalable, and energy- efficient, addressing limitations of traditional irrigation. Experimental results demonstrate improved water utilization and reduced operational costs, contributing to sustainable and efficient agricultural practices.
