Smart Agriculture: IoT for Precision Farming and Fertilizer Savings

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.
