Soil moisture control is crucial to assess irrigation efficiency in green areas and agriculture. In this paper, we propose the design and calibration of a sensor based on inductive coils and electromagnetic fields. The proposed prototypes should meet a series of requirements such as low power consumption, low relative error, and a high voltage difference between the minimum and maximum moisture. We tested different prototypes based on two copper coils divided into two different sets (P1–P15 and NP1–NP4). The prototypes have different characteristics: variations in the number and distribution of spires, existence or absence of casing, and copper wires with a diameter of 0.4 or 0.6 mm. In the first set of experiments carried out in commercial soil, the results showed that the best prototypes were P5, P8, and P9. These prototypes were used in different types of soils, and P8 was selected for the subsequent tests. We carried the second set of experiments using soil from an agricultural field. Based on the data gathered, mathematical models for the calibration of prototypes were obtained and verified. In some cases, two equations were used for different moisture intervals in a single prototype. According to the verification results, NP2 is the best prototype for monitoring the moisture in agricultural lands. It presented a difference in induced voltage of 1.8 V, at 500 kHz, between wet and dry soil with a maximum voltage of 5.12 V. The verification of the calibration determined that the calibration using two mathematical models offers better results, with an average absolute error of 2.1% of moisture.

“…Irrigation automation is not exclusive to the rural sector. Studies have shown the need to improve the efficiency of urban lawn irrigation to save water, and successful strategies have been developed (Blado et al, 2017;Koprda, Magdin, Vanek, & Balogh, 2017). Asadullah and Ullah (2017) developed a low-cost and efficient design for indoor plant irrigation that reduces human labor and saves energy.…”

Development of a low-cost weather station and real-time monitoring for automated irrigation management

et al. 2022

Irrigation is a practice that increases productivity and enables the expansion of agricultural borders. This practice should be well managed to ensure the efficient use of water by plants, and such management requires specialized labor, which increases operating costs. Therefore, the main objective of this study is the implementation of an automated irrigation system that considers factors ranging from water demand to the operation of the system. Because the daily water demand is determined by crop evapotranspiration, a low-cost weather station was developed to acquire data daily. Such data can be used to estimate the reference evapotranspiration (ET0) using the Penman-Monteith model of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Thus, by combining the amount of water required by a crop with the physical and hydraulic properties of the soil and the hydraulic properties of the irrigation system, it was possible to determine the daily frequency and amount of time required for the system to operate to meet the water requirements of the crop without undergoing stress from a deficit or an excess of water. The management/monitoring system was designed and implemented to allow the user to access data remotely through an online application. This application enables the real-time transmission of irrigation-related data, such as weather station data and system logs, obviating the need for the user to be present at the crop site. This allows the supervision of many areas simultaneously with low cost
