Focus centers on integrating the Internet of Things and machine learning to improve agricultural water use efficiency and crop productivity. The review examines how automation is implemented throughout the irrigation pipeline from data collection to application, assessing effectiveness, efficiency, and precision-agriculture integration. It also addresses interoperability, standardization, and cybersecurity, identifies research gaps, and proposes scalable solutions for seamless multi-sensor integration.","Department of Biological Systems Engineering: Papers and Publications  \nBiological Systems Engineering, Department of  \n11-8-2024  \nInternet of Things-Based Automated Solutions Utilizing Machine Learning for Smart and Real-Time Irrigation Management: AReview  \nBryan Nsoh Abia Katimbo  \nHongzhi Guo  \nDerek M.
