Design of an Affordable, Precise Irrigation Controller that Lowers the Barrier to Water- and Energy-Sustainable Agriculture

With climate change and population growth exacerbating global food insecurity, it has become urgent to establish more water- and energy-efficient means to raise agricultural production. Available techniques to bolster crop productivity, such as solar-powered drip irrigation (SPDI) and precision irri...
