This project was designed to help strawberry producers grow better strawberries by providing them with real-time information on weather conditions, soil moisture, temperature and salt levels from their own farm to help them make appropriate decisions on irrigation and nutrient management in their operation.

We encourage you to check out the other pages, which provide more information about the project, strawberries in general, sensor networks and their benefits, and the strawberry farms involved in the project.
