The increasing concerns regarding water scarcity and the overuse of fertilizers, leading to biomagnification, are particularly pronounced in arid regions with low rainfall. These challenges necessitate innovative solutions for efficient water management in agriculture. This paper introduces an integrated micro irrigation and fertigation system designed to automate and optimize irrigation and fertigation processes in water-scarce environments, providing precision tailored to specific plant needs. The Micro Irrigation and Fertigation system represents a pioneering solution that meticulously tailors water distribution to the specific needs of each plant. The seamlessly integrated fertigation system ensures optimal dispersion of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (NPK) over the field at regular intervals, fostering maximum crop growth and health at different stages of plant development. This holistic approach, combining micro irrigation with targeted fertigation, enhances water efficiency and facilitates precise nutrient delivery, promoting overall sustainability. The system features a user-friendly interface (UI) and a robust backend infrastructure, ensuring efficient data management for irrigation and fertigation in agricultural fields. The notable automation reduces the need for manual intervention, maximizing agricultural productivity and reflecting a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. This micro irrigation and fertigation system mitigates challenges related to unequal water distribution among field crops and excessive fertilizer application through a comprehensive approach that integrates advanced technology, data analytics, and efficient hardware.
