Abstract

A step forward in precision agriculture has been made with Precise Sustainable Irrigation (PSI). This is a fairly new concept that could be defined as a real time decision-making process that combines field variability, plant root depth, soil water storage, plant phenological stage, atmospheric water demand and rainfall forecasts to increase food production, water use efficiency and CO₂ absorption while lowering the energy and labor costs associated with irrigation and the corresponding environmental footprint.
PSI demands intensive field data acquisition, which can be obtained with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that provide and process real time in-field data from different types of sensors.
Those sensors, deployed on the field, measure various atmospheric, plant and soil parameters.
Contributions to the PSI concept, covering agronomic irrigation strategies, types of sensor, transceivers, network architectures and SCADAs, and automation approaches, have been made by scientists.
This paper presents a survey on drip irrigation using WSN in support of the PSI concept.
Both its limitations and potentialities are reviewed.
