Autonomous irrigation solutions are transforming water management in specialty crop production, which includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, and floriculture. These systems use IoT sensors, machine learning, and real-time data analytics to optimize water delivery, precisely meeting crops\' diverse needs and reducing waste. Technologies such as drones, automated drip systems, and smart sprinklers adjust irrigation based on soil moisture, weather, and plant health. This session highlights the effectiveness of these technologies, their economic and environmental benefits, and challenges like high initial costs and integration with existing infrastructure. Despite obstacles, autonomous irrigation promises to enhance the sustainability and resilience of specialty crop agriculture.
