Enhancing Water Efficiency in Greenhouses with Advanced Sensing and Drip Irrigation

Abstract: This study explores the potential of advanced sensing technologies to enhance drip irrigation systems in greenhouses, focusing on efficiency and sustainability. A comprehensive review of existing literature reveals that temperature, soil moisture, and humidity sensors are crucial components of intelligent drip irrigation systems. By integrating these sensors with suitable materials, water consumption can be reduced and nutrient uptake improved. The selection of materials and sensors significantly impacts system performance and longevity. Our analysis highlights the importance of sensor type and materials in achieving optimal results in smart greenhouses. These technologies facilitate precise environmental monitoring and resource management, enabling sustainable and high-yield agriculture. The findings of this study contribute to the advancement of smart farming practices, providing valuable insights for future research and development in greenhouse drip irrigation systems. By leveraging these technologies, greenhouse farming can become more efficient, productive, and environmentally friendly.
