Precision Agriculture IoT
Know Your Soil — Deliver Water Where It's Needed
The two biggest losses in farming come from over-irrigation (water and energy waste, root rot) and late intervention (yield drops before stress is detected). A precision agriculture IoT system solves both with data.
At Digital Bridge we design field-specific sensor networks and deploy wireless data transmission infrastructure. Captured data is pushed to a cloud platform and visualized; irrigation systems trigger automatically.
System Components
Soil Moisture Sensors
High-precision FDR or TDR soil-moisture sensors placed at multiple depths (10, 30, 60 cm). Irrigation decisions follow the plant's actual water need; over- and under-irrigation are eliminated.
Soil pH & Temperature
Soil pH and temperature sensors optimize fertilization and planting timing. Acid/base imbalances are caught early to prevent yield loss.
LoRa / NB-IoT Network
LoRaWAN or NB-IoT network that works in field corners with no power or internet. Battery-powered nodes lasting years. Long range (2–15 km) covers a wide area with a single gateway.
Micro Weather Station
Field-level air temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and solar radiation are measured live. Evapotranspiration based on local weather optimizes irrigation amounts.
Automatic Irrigation Control
Irrigation valves open automatically when soil moisture falls below a threshold and close when the threshold is met. Schedule optimization for early morning or low-evaporation conditions.
Farmer Mobile App
Live sensor values, irrigation status and alarm notifications are visible on a smartphone, even far from the field. One-tap manual override for irrigation. Weekly soil-health reports.
Suitable Crops
- Vegetables & fruits (tomato, pepper, strawberry)
- Vineyards & orchards (grape, olive, citrus)
- Hard-shell fruits (hazelnut, almond)
- Industrial crops (cotton, corn)
- Grain fields (wheat, barley)
- Greenhouses & controlled production
- Dairy farms & pasture management
- Landscape & golf-course irrigation
Real Project: Adana Cotton Production
A precision agriculture IoT system installed on a 200-decare cotton field in Adana delivered 25–30% water savings per season. Data-driven fertilization optimization lifted yield per decare by 12%.
