Estudio de una red inalámbrica de sensores IOT para detección y control en tiempo real de los diferentes parámetros característicos de amarillamiento y secamiento en la palma africana.

Abstract

The present work seeks to publicize an innovative and efficient option by integrating IoT technologies into the agronomy that is the main driver of the country's economy. The demand for food products worldwide every day is increasing so that the raw material requires more efficient production at a shorter time meeting the required quality standards. The advancement of technologies has made possible convergence between the two fields by evolving agricultural manufacturing thus facilitating crop profitability. Undoubtedly the main symptoms of pests in the African palm are the drying and yellowing that causes low productivity and quality of palm oil production in the province of Los Ríos. The use of IoT sensors in the plantation facilitates the management, monitoring and control of parameters to be considered avoiding a progressive and lethal progression of the disease. Therefore, the development of this work offers Ecuadorian farmers an innovative perspective with a view to the future of their crops, optimizing resources, producing greater volume at a shorter time.
