Abstract

Saffron is a high-value crop that requires low growing temperatures and cannot be cultivated in equatorial climates. To address this limitation, an IoT-based Intelligent Saffron Management System (IISMS) is proposed to simulate suitable growing conditions for saffron cultivation in equatorial regions. The IISMS remotely monitors key environmental parameters, and the collected data is displayed via a mobile APP over a Wi-Fi network. The cooling system is automatically activated when the temperature exceeds 10 °C, which is the critical threshold required during the flowering phase. Similarly, the irrigation system is triggered when soil moisture drops below 70%. By providing responsive and automated crop management, the IISMS optimizes growth conditions and improves yield quality. Experimental results showed that saffron cultivated under the IISMS was healthier, taller, exhibited more green shoots, and was generally stronger compared to saffron grown under standard room conditions in Malaysia.

Abstract in Chinese

藏红花是一种高价值作物，需要凉爽的生长温度，而赤道气候无法种植藏红花。基于物联网的智能藏红花管理系统 (IISMS) 旨在模拟赤道国家藏红花的适宜生长条件。IISMS远程监控生长条件，并通过 Wi-Fi 网络将数据显示在移动应用程序中。如果温度高于10°C，则启动冷却系统。IISMS在必要时提供补充环境光，当土壤湿度低于规定阈值时启动灌溉。IISMS提供响应式藏红花作物管理，优化生长条件并提高产量质量
