Sri-Lanka is a country with a rich heritage and strong agricultural know how. Though the sector lacks a more modern outlook locally, the world has moved ahead with more sustainable farming practices with cutting edge Agritech. Innovations by Orel in collaboration with Faculty of Urban & Aquatic bioresources of University of Sri Jayewardenepura have successfully completed the pilot project of an IoT Based smart farming technology which has the capability of real-time monitoring of the farmlands as the sensor mediated automated monitoring system with continuous remote access to monitor the field conditions through IoT Analytics Platform. The key highlight in this development is the IoT based fertigation system which provide nutrients according to the plant’s requirement, which provides better yield in comparison to traditional faming methodologies that are currently used.
