This research focuses on the design and development of a prototype Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) system for monitoring and controlling irrigation using weather information. The system consists of four main components: 1) Weather Station – This component includes various sensors such as air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and sunlight duration, among others, to collect real-time weather data. 2) Controller Unit – This unit is equipped with machine learning algorithms or models to estimate the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and calculate the plant’s water requirement by integrating the crop coefficient (Kc) with other plant-related data. This enables the system to determine the optimal irrigation amount based on plant needs automatically. 3) User Interface (UI) and Display – This section allows farmers or users to input relevant information, such as plant type, soil type, irrigation system type, number of water emitters, planting distance, and growth stages. It also provides a display for monitoring and interaction with the system. 4) Irrigation Unit – This component is responsible for controlling the water supply and managing the irrigation emitters to ensure efficient water distribution based on the calculated requirements.

Eco Grow Pellets are high-porosity plant-growing clay pellets made from ceramic industrial sediment, blended with ground chicken bone to enhance calcium and essential minerals, promoting strong and healthy plant growth. They are suitable for all types of plants, especially those requiring well-aerated soil with good water drainage. Eco Grow Pellets are an innovative clay-based growing medium designed to optimize plant cultivation efficiency. Their high porosity structure allows for excellent air and water circulation, reducing soil compaction and waterlogging—common causes of root rot and stunted growth. Additionally, the pellets are enriched with calcium and essential minerals from ground chicken bones, reinforcing plant structure and enhancing root strength, enabling better nutrient absorption. This product is made from 100% recycled ceramic industrial sediment, aligning with the principles of Zero Waste and the BCG Economy Model. It helps minimize industrial waste while transforming discarded materials into high-value, eco-friendly growing media. Eco Grow Pellets are ideal for vegetables, flowers, and potted plants, offering ease of use, cleanliness, and safety. They contribute to sustainable agriculture by improving both crop productivity and environmental health.

This study aimed to evaluate the optimal edible coating formulation for 'Namdokmai Sithong' mangoes by incorporating 10% gum arabic (GA) with mangosteen peel extract (MPE) at varying concentrations (1%, 3%, and 5%), compared to a control treatment (distilled water). The coated fruits were stored at room temperature for 14 days, and their physicochemical properties were assessed. The findings indicate that the application of GA (10%) combined with MPE effectively mitigated color changes in mango flesh, suppressed disease incidence, and preserved fruit firmness. Additionally, the coating significantly delayed alterations in total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), vitamin C content, carotenoid levels, and phenolic compounds. Among the tested formulations, GA (10%) + MPE (1%) exhibited the highest efficacy in extending shelf life, maintaining fruit quality, and enhancing surface gloss.
