| الوصف: | Agriculture is an important economic activity in our country, since it provides employment for thousands of people and contributes significantly to the national GDP. According to a report by Jiménez in 2020, agriculture contributed 9.1% of GDP in 2019. In addition, the agricultural sector generates around 11% of employment in the country, according to an article in the digital newspaper “El Guardian”. However, agriculture also faces challenges, especially during the dry season, when plantations can be lost if not adequately irrigated. Therefore, in this Project, an automated irrigation system is proposed to help farmers irrigate their crops more efficiently. This irrigation system will use sprinklers, temperatura, humidity sensors, and a PLC to automatically control irrigation. The Project aims to help farmers who need it most by improving irrigation efficiency. If implemented correctly, the automated irrigation system can help reduce crop losses during the dry season, increasing crop production and yield. This, in turn, can contribute to the national economy by creating more employment and increasing agricultural production. In short, this project aims to improve agriculture in the country and increase its contribution to economic development. |
