Researchers at Tyndall National Institute, University Cork, developed a soil sensor (ESS) that monitors soil nutrients, connects to IoT, and optimizes fertilizer use for farmers.
Researchers at Tyndall National Institute, University Cork, developed a soil sensor that helps farmers reduce chemical fertiliser use, offering cost savings and environmental benefits. The Electronic Smart System (ESS) sensor monitors soil nutrients in real time, connecting to the Internet of Things (IoT) and using cloud technology to collect and analyse data for farmers, providing insights to optimise fertiliser use, reduce nutrient losses, and minimise environmental impacts.
