Abstract
The estimation of soil moisture content is required for agriculture, mainly to build the irrigation scheduling model. In this study, we present a smart watering system to deal with various factors derived from the stochastic information in the agricultural operational, i.e., air temperature, air humidity, soil moisture, soil temperature, and light intensity. The methodology consists of exploiting the Internet of Things (IoT) using Low-Bandwidth Distributed Applications (LBDA) in cloud computing to integrate the real data sets collected by the several sensor technologies. We conducted experiments for the watering system used two types of soil and different plant. Here, the Long Short Term Memory Networks (LSTMs) approach in deep learning techniques used to build smart decisions concerning watering requirements and deal with heterogeneous information coming from agricultural environments. Results show that our models can effectively improve the prediction accuracy for the watering system over various soil and plants.
