“…The estimation of soil moisture content or soil moisture as a planting medium in a greenhouse can also use the ARX, ARMX, BJ and State algorithms with values of 91.31%, 91.09%, 91.08% and 90.75% [47]. The development model of Soil Moisture Forecasting (SMF) to activate Constant Moisture Automatic Irrigation (CAIS) using soil moisture data using sensors on planting media soil with different depths with the estimated error values of 0.011 [48], 0.962 [49], 0.014 [50]. The use of capacitive soil moisture sensors in measuring soil moisture is more resistant to rust than resistive soil moisture [51].…”

Increasing food needs and climate instability require researchers to innovate agriculture using smart greenhouses that are integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT). The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) begins with determining the topic keywords followed by searching the publisher link. It obtains 301 publications to be reviewed, 58 of which address the research questions posed. This study aims to collect and analyze in depth various knowledge about the Internet of Things Smart Greenhouse regarding sensors, methods used and publishers who publish the most related topics and the possibility of a research gap. The findings are as many as 12 publications that use temperature and humidity sensors and use the research and development methods integrated with Artificial intelligence methods, of which 62.1% do not use the datasets and 37.9% use the datasets. It obtains two possibilities of a research gap, namely improvising the algorithm and the dataset used and placing full control on the microcontroller development board and making IoT a supporting tool.

With the advancement of information and communication technology, various types of soil moisture sensors have been developed. Coupled with data loggers, these sensors could prove useful in monitoring soil moisture in upland crop production areas which in turn could be used for efficient irrigation water management. However, most of these sensors are costly and unaffordable to most farmers in developing countries. Hence, a low-cost soil moisture monitoring system intended to facilitate irrigation water management in upland crop production systems was developed in this study. The device was built with a capacitive soil moisture sensor, an ESP8266 Wi-Fi mini board, and a datalogging shield with RTC. Soil moisture measurements are transmitted via ESP-NOW to a server which also uses an ESP8266 Wi-Fi mini board. The low-cost soil moisture monitoring system was evaluated based on its measurement of volumetric water content and transmission of data via ESP-NOW. The performance of the capacitive soil moisture sensor was compared with the ICT International MP306 soil moisture sensor. Statistical analyses showed that volumetric water contents measured by the capacitive soil moisture sensor are comparable to those of the MP306 soil moisture sensor, thus conceived as a low-cost alternative to the high-end sensor. Moreover, test results on the range of ESP-NOW showed that data can be successfully transmitted over long distances. With regards to this, the low-cost soil moisture monitoring system may be integrated with other technologies to enable irrigation scheduling and automation for efficient irrigation water management in upland crop production systems.

“…6 (2022) main limiting factor for several countries all over the world, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions (Tiyasha et al 2021;Okasha et al 2022). Using the advanced technology in agriculture is a crucial issue for controlling many agricultural practices and making the right decisions based on the continuous monitoring of fields using different sensors (Okasha et al 2021). Irrigation practice is the largest consumer of the available global water budget in agriculture, which uses more than 75% of freshwater resources (Schulz et al 2020).…”

“…Irrigation practice is the largest consumer of the available global water budget in agriculture, which uses more than 75% of freshwater resources (Schulz et al 2020). Due to expected climate changes and rapid population growth, it is expected that the increased demands for freshwater will be getting worse in the forthcoming decades (Okasha et al 2021).…”

ATER is the main limiting factor of our life and any human activity. In all our life activities including agriculture and industry, water has a vital role in these previous sectors. This reflects the importance of water especially under many global challenges (mainly climate changes, global explosion of population, soil degradation, desertification and hunger). The using of water in irrigation is a very common practice in agriculture because no agriculture without water. The management of irrigation water has become one of the urgent needs nowadays under the terrible progress of bioinformatic technology. The smart irrigation is considered one of the most common applications in smart or precision agriculture. The main components of smart irrigation system may include soil, weather and plant sensors such as soil moisture sensor controllers, evapotranspiration controllers, and rain sensors. This work is an attempt to answer one question about smart irrigation whether it is an important strategy to overcome the global water crisis or not. This is also a call by Environment, Biodiversity and Soil Security (EBSS) for receiving articles on smart irrigation, different applications of smart irrigation in smart agriculture, their challenges, their obstacles and the novel solutions in this concern. This topic has several open questions needs to be answered. The use of the Internet of Things is one of the important solutions for smart monitoring and control of the irrigation process.
