Chuvash State University named after IN Ulyanov has developed an intelligent sensor station for precision agriculture. The system uses IoT sensors that monitor more than 20 parameters that affect plant growth and soil condition. According to the developers, the technology allows detailed analysis of agricultural physical indicators and plant phenotype, which helps optimize agricultural processes in real time.
The station takes into account many factors: soil composition, humidity, temperature, light intensity, wind speed and even the level of ultraviolet radiation. It has the capacity to evaluate crop density, plant height, planting accuracy and seed germination. When testing the system on Thomas peas, the sensors showed high efficiency in collecting and analyzing data, dividing it into four main groups: nutrition, light, heat and moisture.
The technology helps optimize the processes of irrigation, fertilization and monitoring plant growth. Developers say the system reduces costs, increases efficiency and speeds up the selection of new varieties. In addition, the smart station adapts agricultural work to changing climatic conditions, making farming more sustainable and technologically advanced.
