Farmers tend to schedule their irrigation using arbitrary times, usually determining these by observing the soil and their crops. This can lead to over- and under- irrigation,both which lead to problems with the crop’s health. To solve this problem, a tool in the form of a smartphone application is being developed. This application will give the user the amount of water his or her crops need at the moment. To ensure the amount of water recommended is irrigated, it is going to send a message to a hardware controller that will open a valve and measure how much water goes through. Once the specified amount of water has been reached it will close the valve.
