Update crop or soil status reports based on field data

Purpose

1.1. Enable real-time, automated updates of crop or soil status reports using integrated field sensors, remote IoT devices, and GIS data, reducing manual effort and enhancing agronomic decision-making.
1.2. Collect, aggregate, analyze, and transmit soil moisture, nutrient levels, weather patterns, pest observations, and equipment telemetry to central dashboards.
1.3. Facilitate seamless sharing of actionable data to agronomists, farm managers, and field staff for timely interventions and compliance reporting.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New sensor reading detected (soil moisture, pH, EC, NPK levels).
2.2. Scheduled reporting intervals (e.g., daily, hourly).
2.3. Manual data entry or remote mobile app field input.
2.4. Threshold-based alerts (e.g., moisture drops below 20%).
2.5. Weather API updates or drone/satellite image ingestion.
