This technology allows the automation and optimization of processes by monitoring, processing, and analyzing large volumes of related data, including variables related to the soil (moisture), fertilization, and irrigation, which can be visualized through the internet to enable sustainable and efficient agriculture. The study is centered on the Los Angeles, Biobío, Chile case. The main objective of the prototype is to optimize water consumption for agricultural irrigation by using only the amount that is strictly necessary for each crop by allowing real-time visualization of irrigation status, moisture data, and irrigation times while providing a history of data that can be used for further analysis.enInternet of Things (IoT)Agricultural IrrigationWater usage optimizationAn IoT-Based Prototype for Optimizing Agricultural Irrigation: A Case Study in the Biobío Region of ChileArtículoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.procs.2024.06.127
