Abstract
The optimization in agricultural operation is an important issue associated with production and sustainability. In this work the conditions of air and soil associated with vineyards are investigated using an IoT smart sensor system that provides capabilities for continuous monitoring. Thus, for soil characteristics are presented a set sensing node with accurate measurement of moisture, pH, electrical conductivity, and temperature and macronutrients concentration. The relation between some of soil and air condition is also highlighted through the air temperature and air relative humidity measurements. The interdependencies of different measurements that affect the accuracy of estimation for macronutrients concentration is discussed. Validation results of the system for the particular case of vineyard soil are included in the paper.
