Arba Minch University Real time sensors which is manage the agriculture system.

Develop Sensors for managing the agriculture system: Include Soil moisture management Sensors, NPK Management Sensors, Material Management Technology, and Water Quality Management Sensors. They used effectively monitoring and controlling soil water levels; Managing NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) levels on a budget can be achieved by using soil test kits, organic fertilizers, and compost; Material management focuses on optimizing use of resources like seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides, and water quality management includes testing water sources using DIY kits to check for pH, salinity, and contaminants. These tools help farmers optimize irrigation schedules, reduce water waste, and improve crop yield; utilize local resources like animal manure, green manure, or ash as cost-effective alternatives to commercial fertilizers.
These Sensor management practices enhance agricultural productivity while minimizing expenses, making them accessible to small-scale farmers.
