I know posts on automated plant care are very popular on Gadget Master, so I want to highlight this Arduino appnote - Smart Farm Irrigation System Using Arduino Edge Control.

Researchers from Morocco, the UAE, Egypt, Italy, and South Africa have developed a low-cost IoT- and fuzzy logic–based irrigation system that dynamically adjusts watering using real-time soil and ...

Irrigation is a fairly crude practice. Sure, there are timers, and rain sensors, but all in all we’re basically dumping water on the ground and guessing at the right amount. [Reinier van der … ...

To address this, Instructables user benrbill came up with a game-changing solution: an automatic drip irrigation system powered by Arduino.

Before this system of irrigation, sprinkler was the most efficient one. However, the drip irrigation system superseded the sprinkler system with almost over 90 per cent efficiency.

PV-driven drip irrigation system with compressed air storage The proposed system uses compressed air to store energy, as well as for the prevention of clogging in the irrigation tubes.
