Abstract

The large-scale use of water resources represents one of the drawbacks of horticulture specially the strawberry cultivation. Irrigation and management systems using IoT technologies have increasingly been used in agriculture, presenting greater efficiency potential in water consumption, and productivity and quality of agricultural products. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an environmental monitoring system integrating data acquisition and transmission using LoRa technology, applied to strawberry cultivation under greenhouse conditions. The accuracy of the data through sensors and the accuracy rate of sending the data were evaluated. The sensor STH20 was compared with a weather station and the DS18b20 with geothermometers. The accuracy rate of sending data was analyzed for its efficiency, the packages sent fewer acknowledge messages (confirmation uplink). The SHT20 sensor showed no significant difference in relation to the air temperature data collected, only in relation to relative humidity due to the lack of protection of the sensor. The DS18b20 sensors also showed accuracy for measuring substrate temperature compared with geothermometers. The proposed LoRa technology system presented an accurate data-sending effectiveness rate about the environment in which the devices were inserted and their hardware configuration. The system can be used in greenhouse production system as management improvement strategy in consonance with global development objectives.
