| contents | <p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p> <p>This study uses the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) Penman-Monteith equation to develop a crop<br>water algorithm needed to automate the supply of specific amount of water to crops, depending on their<br>different crop water requirements. This was done to deviate from the practice of supplying the same amount<br>of water to different crops during irrigation practices which could lead to over-irrigation or under-irrigation<br>resulting in pest infestation and eventually low yield. The crop water requirement for cocoyam, spinach and<br>tomatoes were estimated using data from FAO. A microcontroller-based smart irrigation device<br>incorporated with real-time clock was developed to supply the right amount of water to crops at the right<br>time and duration daily. The implementation was done using a laboratory-scale irrigation test bed and<br>experimental results reveal the effectiveness of the developed system in the automation of crop-specific<br>irrigation systems and in line with their Crop Water Requirement (CWR).
