Abstract:
This systematic review critically evaluates the current state and future potential of real-time, end-to-end smart, and automated irrigation management systems, focusing on integrating the Internet of Things (IoTs) and machine learning technologies for enhanced agricultural water use efficiency and crop productivity. In this review, the automation of each component is examined in the irrigation management pipeline from data collection to application while analyzing its effectiveness, efficiency, and integration with various precision agriculture technologies. It also investigates the role of the interoperability, standardization, and cybersecurity of IoT-based automated solutions for irrigation applications. Furthermore, in this review, the existing gaps are identified and solutions are proposed for seamless integration across multiple sensor suites for automated systems, aiming to achieve fully autonomous and scalable irrigation management. The findings highlight the transformative potential of automated irrigation systems to address global food challenges by optimizing water use and maximizing crop yields.
