An optimized irrigation system maximizes agricultural productivity, ensures efficient water use, and reduces off-site
effects caused by excess percolation of water. To address the problems associated with conventional irrigation systems, a
drip irrigation system that is based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology for automation of irrigation scheduling was
developed and tested for Egg Plant (Brinjal) crop in vertisols. The study compared crop performance under two different
drip irrigation systems — one based on IoT and the other based on crop evapotranspiration (ETc). An intelligent data
collection system, including sensors and a microcontroller was used in the experiment to monitor relative humidity, soil
temperature, air temperature, and soil moisture content. The sensors collect data wirelessly transmitted to a cloud server via
the IoT, allowing worldwide access from anywhere. The performance of the egg plant crop revealed significantly higher
plant height and crop yield (12.05%) under a drip irrigation system utilizing IoT technology, which could be due to the
optimum and timely application of water over ETc-based drip irrigation. Along with improved crop performance, water
savings of 35.2% were observed as compared to ETc-based drip irrigation. The developed system can be evaluated in a large
field with several sensors together along with a mobile app for a user-friendly system.
