Tomatoes stand as one of the pivotal crops in global agriculture, acclaimed for its nutritional richness, culinary versatility, and economic significance. This vibrant vegetable not only contribute essential vitamins and minerals to diets worldwide but also serve as a key commodity, driving agricultural economies and influencing farming practices for its unique growth requirements.
The limited extent of cultivable land underscores the need for maximizing tomato production through effective agronomic practices. Precision farming emerges as a crucial approach to optimize yield by managing water and nutrients efficiently. Current farming practices often result in water wastage and soil salinization. Precision irrigation, aided by IoT offers real-time monitoring and control, presenting a sustainable solution for enhanced productivity and resource conservation.
The study aimed at optimizing tomato productivity and profitability through IoT-enabled automated irrigation and precise fertigation. Our study advocates for the adoption of IoT-enabled strategies to transform tomato cultivation, aligning with resource conservation and economic stability for farmers.
