Development an IoT-Embedded Smart Drip Irrigation System for Livestock Feed Corn Fields
Keywords:
Drip irrigation System for Livestock Feed Corn Fields, IoT Embedded SystemAbstract
The objectives of this study were: 1. To develop an IoT-embedded drip irrigation system for livestock feed corn fields. 2. To study the outcomes of implementing the IoT- embedded drip irrigation system within the Efficient Agriculture Learning Community (EALC) network, specifically among corn farmers in Tambon Kok Chamrae, Thung Sri Udom District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. The study involved 10 households covering an area of 10 acres the method of Purposive Selection is employed to select a sample group based on specific criteria or objectives. This research serves as a learning point to showcase the IoT-embedded SmartFarm drip irrigation system in livestock feed corn fields. The objectives include providing a learning resource for farmers within and outside the area to study and experiment with the actual use of the irrigation system. The study results from implementing the IoT-embedded drip irrigation system for livestock feed corn fields are as follows: 1. Electricity consumption reduced by 40% 2. Farmers no longer require manual labor for irrigation 3. Water consumption decreased by 40%. Moreover, the system's implementation allowed farmers to have more free time from irrigation activities, providing opportunities to explore additional sources of income within their households.
