Abstract
Recently, ICT based monitoring system is popularized in some agricultural areas. In such area, farmers can obtain their paddy conditions by using smart phone without going to the paddy. In this study, the effect of ICT based monitoring system on water and labor saving, and nutrient loads reduction was evaluated. Then, cost/benefit of monitoring system installation was compared. Finally, how to promote ICT systems in agricultural engineering field was discussed based on the characteristic of agricultural water management system.
