Implementation of IoT-Based Smart Irrigation Systems for Optimizing Rice Yield

A Case Study in Tropical Climates

Abstract

Water scarcity poses a significant threat to agriculture in tropical regions. This paper presents the design and implementation of an Internet of Things (IoT) smart irrigation system using soil moisture sensors and automated valve control. Field tests conducted in East Java indicate a 25% reduction in water usage while maintaining optimal crop yield, offering a viable solution for sustainable farming.
