AGRI-sens

Project information
ICT use in the horticultural sector is an interesting work field for the present and future opportunities, in particular by developing precise agricultural technologies monitoring air and soil temperature and humidity to support and help farmers to better manage production for ensuring high quality products, competitiveness, productivity and profitability while reducing the environmental footprints. AGRI-sens project aims to develop an integrated system for lettuce producers for monitoring in real time temperature and humidity in soil and ambient as well as weather conditions to get lettuce production’s optimal values, a very useful information for lettuce producers to optimize irrigation practices, harvest time and eventually reduce water and energy consumption. Moisture is a very important factor in lettuce production as requires an optimal level of humidity during the growing process. Therefore, AGRI-sens solution, which will be integrated in the FISPACE platform, is a cloud-based system of wireless sensors and tags for monitoring the soil and ambient values in real-time of lettuce production (indoors and outdoors), which can support producers to implement proactive and/or corrective actions, such as the precise harvest time, the optimal irrigation and the change of practices, etc, according to the data and indicators gathered.
