Smart soil quality measurement and weather station system for sugarcane fields using LoRaWAN network
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper proposes a smart soil quality measurement and weather station system for sugarcane fields using LoRaWAN network technology. The proposed system consists of a network of soil sensors and weather sensors placed in the fields to measure soil parameters and weather conditions in real-time. The data collected by the sensors are transmitted to gateways and then to a cloud-based server for storage and analysis. The size of the sugarcane plantation used in the test is 295 rai. It has been verified through RSSI and SNR parameters to ensure that the system can be used comprehensively and accurately. The system provides farmers with accurate and timely information on the soil parameters and weather conditions, enabling them to make informed decisions on irrigation, fertilization, and pest management. The implementation of this system can significantly improve the productivity and efficiency of sugarcane farming operations, leading to higher crop yields and better crop quality
