⁘ With the advent of technology, the world around us is getting automated.

Introduction

⁘ Automation is the use of machines, control systems and information technologies to optimize productivity in the production of goods and delivery of services.

⁘ A typical farm requires a lot of labor. Automation can proficiently moderate the amount of manual labor, and make farming easier and faster, leading to more agricultural growth.

‥ Following the plant breeding and genetics revolutions, this Third Green Revolution is taking over the agricultural world based upon the combined application of ICT solutions such as precision equipment, the Internet of Things (IoT), sensors and actuators, etc.

‥ Smart Farming represents the application of modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into  agriculture, leading to what can be called a Third Green Revolution.

What is a Smart Farming?

‥ The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that applies increasingly to everything and will be decisive in the agricultural sector.

‥ Smart Farming can also provide great benefits in terms of environmental issues, for example, through more efficient use of water, or optimization of treatments and inputs.

• Smart Farm Systems is a farm monitoring system, fully tested, using advanced telemetry monitory effluent pond levels, water through pressure and flow rates, field moisture sensor and other farming activities.

Objective֎The goal of this research is to:

‣ develop improved irrigation application and scheduling techniques for a plants.

‣ proposed feeding animals application to make forage process more flexible based on known weight and daily milk production determined the quantity and number of feeding animals.

‣ Monitoring crop yields exported.֎The specific objective is to develop sensor network management

system for monitoring soil water status and collecting weather data for irrigation applications.

Irrigation Scheduling:

o Moisture Sensoro Temperature and Humidity

Sensor⁂ Farmers have always used information about wind and weather to know when to plant and harvest.

⁂ Irrigation scheduling is the process used by irrigation system managers to determine the correct frequency and duration of watering.

⁂We proposed an automatic drip irrigation system based on calculating the required crop water and irrigation depth. The aim of the proposed system is to automatically compute irrigation scheduling of certain crop according to a crop type, soil type, growth stages of a crop and climatological conditions.
