Environmental Information System Using Embedded Systems Aimed at Improving the Productivity of Agricultural Crops in the Department of Meta

Abstract

Agriculture is an activity that is developed from generation to generation and has remained so over time. Taking into account the different environmental factors that influence the process of agriculture and the variety of climate due to climate change, has generated alterations in planting procedures; for that reason, precision agriculture is an important tool for the development in these activities. In the same way, guarantees agricultural production and becomes informatic systems that involve automation and information processes in real time. In this manner the implementation of sensor networks allows to determine the environmental conditions of temperature, humidity, air to control and monitor an agricultural system and identify changes during a harvest period. Based on these factors, is created a database to store the information from the sensors. In addition, the different queries and decision making are generated, considering internet access through a web application. On the other hand, the terms of ubiquity, distance or communication play an important role for the control and monitoring of agricultural crops in real time.
