Ibrahim Mat et. al. proposed “IoT in Precision Agriculture Applications Using Wireless Moisture Sensor Network”[5]
Explains that the Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of sensors and connectivity to enable application like agriculture
optimum irrigation. Wireless sensor network (WSN) and Wireless Moisture Sensor Network (WMSN) are components
of IoT. One of the important processes in agriculture is irrigation. Improper irrigation will result in waste of water.
Proper irrigation system could be achieved by using WSN technology. Monitoring and control applications have been
tremendously improved by using WSN technology. It enabled efficient communication with many sensors. WMSN is a
WSN with moisture sensors. In this study, Precision Agriculture (PA) used WMSN to enable efficient irrigation.
This paper describes about IoT and WMSN in agriculture applications particularly in greenhouse environment. This paper
explained and proved the efficiency of feedback control method in greenhouse crop irrigation. A test was conducted
to see the different these two methods. The methods are irrigation by schedule or feedback based irrigation. Irrigation
by schedule is to supply water to the plant at specific time periods. Feedback based irrigation is to irrigate plant when
the moisture or level of media wetness reached predefined value. The test shows that there is an average savings of
1,500 ml per day per tree.
Arys Carrasquilla-Batista et. al. proposed a paper “Using IoT resources to enhance the accuracy of over drain measurements
in greenhouse horticulture”[4] gives the details as follows, Climate change has already shown its negative impact that
