Modern farming faces a double squeeze: rising input costs (fertilizer, water, energy) and demand for consistent yields. IoT-based smart agriculture answers with one simple principle: give exactly what the crop needs — no less, no more.
The "by habit" problem
Watering on a fixed schedule and fertilizing with uniform doses ignores the field’s real condition. The result: wasted water, excess fertilizer (costly and soil-damaging), or crops starved of nutrients.
How precision farming works
- Soil sensors read moisture, temperature, pH, and N-P-K levels.
- Weather stations monitor the field’s microclimate.
- Analytics recommend when and how much to irrigate and fertilize.
The outcome
Irrigating by soil moisture and fertilizing by N-P-K readings — not by schedule — cuts input costs while protecting productivity. INCLUDE’s InFarmer platform brings this monitoring into one dashboard, and can reuse existing devices where possible.

The two topics below cover the questions we are asked most often, in more depth than the summary above:
- Precision irrigation — scheduling water from soil moisture and rainfall rather than the clock.
- Greenhouse monitoring — sensor-based climate control under cover.
Both run on the InFarmer solution.
