1. Improve crop yields
Many farmers in Indonesia optimize the use of water resources by installing soil sensors. In some cases, farmers use sensors to monitor soil moisture and find out how to adjust irrigation strategies to adapt to different climatic conditions. For example, in some arid areas, after using sensors, irrigation efficiency has improved and crop yields have also increased significantly. This practice not only improves the efficiency of water resource utilization, but also reduces the loss of crops caused by water shortage.
2. Reduce production costs
The report pointed out that Indonesian farmers can apply fertilizer more accurately with the help of soil sensors, thereby effectively reducing the amount of fertilizer used. According to surveys in some places, after using sensors, farmers’ fertilizer costs have been reduced by an average of 20% to 30%. This precise fertilization method helps farmers maintain or increase crop yields while saving costs.
3. Technical training and promotion
The Ministry of Agriculture and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Indonesia are actively promoting the use of soil sensors and providing training for farmers. These projects not only teach farmers how to use sensors, but also provide data analysis support, enabling them to make scientific decisions based on real-time feedback. Such training has greatly promoted the application of soil sensors among small farmers.
4. Sustainable agricultural practices
With the popularity of soil sensors, more and more Indonesian farmers are beginning to adopt sustainable agricultural practices. These sensors help farmers understand the health of the soil, so that they can better rotate crops and use organic fertilizers. In this way, Indonesia’s agricultural production is moving towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable direction.
5. Specific cases
For example, in some rice fields in western Indonesia, some farmers have worked with technology companies to install automated soil sensor systems. These systems can not only monitor the status of the soil in real time, but also send alerts to farmers through mobile phone applications to remind them when they need irrigation or fertilizer. Through this high-tech means, farmers are able to manage their fields more effectively.
The trend of Indonesian farmers using soil sensors shows that the combination of traditional agriculture and modern technology is bringing new opportunities for agricultural production. Through this technology, farmers can not only increase crop yields and reduce costs, but also achieve a more sustainable agricultural production method. In the future, with the advancement of technology and the support of the government, the popularity of soil sensors in Indonesia is expected to further promote agricultural modernization.
