Respected Sir, I am currently working on a project that monitors the microclimatic conditions like moisture content in the soil and the temperature through the usage of sensors and Raspberry Pie. This data is acquired and compared with the ideal values of moisture for different temperatures and then reported to the farmers through a mobile App who will take the necessary steps to improve the condition. This is somewhat like precision farming. I am currently looking for a crop that can grow within 2 or 3 months. I think Kudravalli rice or Methi leaves is suitable for this experiment. Please do share your opinions on this.
Secondly, I need a connection between the moisture values and productivity of the crops.This to prevent the farmer to subject the crops to extreme conditions.
Thirdly, is using GIS a wise idea. If so how should we proceed.

Hi my dear, The following article will be very useful for you

Use FAO materials available in online. Also, read research work based on lysimeter study. Your question must be elaborated further for a reasonable feedback.
best regards
