Bytes2Grow is a system of smart technology that supports sustainable agriculture. Using sensors placed into gardens and crops along with a convenient dashboard, Bytes2Grow provides essential data on temperature, light, moisture and other conditions that impact plant growth. The data can be used to trigger automated actions, meaning users can control equipment to rectify environmental conditions and maximize yield. Agriculture consumes between 80 - 90% of all freshwater in the United States. An easy way to conserve water in the agricultural sector is to install a soil moisture sensor to measure the amount of water in the soil and maintain consistent conditions for plants. In some cases, installing a soil moisture sensor reduces residential irrigation by as much as 50%. Benefits of moisture sensors: ? Control micro-climate conditions to maximize crop quality and production. ? Selective irrigation in dry zones to reduce the water resources required. ? Study of weather conditions in fields to forecast ice formation, rain, drought, snow or wind changes. ? Control of humidity and temperature levels to prevent fungus and other microbial contaminants. ? Crop growth monitor.
