A system developed for malting barley cultivations in large
areas of land allowed for the optimizing of irrigation through
decision support software and its integration with an infield wireless sensor network (WSN) driving an irrigation machine converted to make sprinkler nozzles controllable.
The network consisted of five sensing stations and a weather
station. Each of the sensing stations contained a data logger
with two soil water reflectometers, a soil temperature sensor,
and Bluetooth communication. Using the network information
and the irrigation machine positions through a differential
GPS, the software controlled the sprinkler with application
of the appropriate amount of water [13]. Software dedicated
to sprinkler control has been variously discussed
