Sistema para monitoramento remoto e em tempo real das condições do solo e do ambiente para agricultura de precisão

Abstract

Precision agriculture currently stands out as an essential approach for optimizing agricultural production, as it allows for a detailed and localized analysis of soil conditions, resulting in better management of natural resources and minimizing waste. Given this scenario, this work aims to develop a low-cost integrated device for monitoring soil and environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, electrical conductivity, pH, and luminosity. The device was designed to work autonomously, using rechargeable batteries powered by solar panels and integrated with a mobile application, allowing the visualization and analysis of the collected data in real time. The development includes the creation of a printed circuit board to integrate all the components and sensors used, the fabrication of a robust 3D structure to protect the system, the performance of experimental measurements to enable the validation of the developed system, and the development of the mobile application to make the data visible to the user. The results indicate that the developed system is a promising tool to assist small, medium, and large producers in implementing precision agriculture techniques, contributing to better crop development, reducing environmental impacts, and maximizing yields
