Abstract

Monitoring the spatial variability of soil moisture is essential for improving water use efficiency in agriculture. However, implementing a monitoring system requires a combination of technology (soil moisture sensors, signal conditioning, and processing, data transmission and processing methods) and low cost. Wireless soil moisture sensor networks (WSMN) have emerged in recent years. These systems encompass soil sensors, wireless communication technologies, and hardware platforms. In this paper, we present the development of a digital platform integrated with a wireless sensor network (WSN) for continuous soil moisture monitoring, focused on assisting decision-making regarding crop management in an agroecological production system.
