The primary objective is to design and implement an integrated drip irrigation and temperature control system that protects strawberry crops against low temperatures, thereby enhancing their productivity and sustainability. The project development included a review of existing solutions, interviews with strawberry cultivation experts, and an analysis of farmers’ perceptions regarding the adoption of new agricultural technologies. Additional challenges related to market acceptance of the product were identified, including competition, customer-perceived<br />value, and logistical difficulties in implementing technologies across different regions. Based on the collected information, an automated system was designed that integrates temperature and humidity sensors, drip irrigation, and thermal control, with its performance evaluated through tests under simulated frost conditions. The results showed potential improvements in plant protection and greater efficiency in water use. It is concluded that the implementation of this system can help reduce frost-related losses and increase agricultural productivity, representing a technologically viable and easily adoptable alternative for local farmers.</p> Laura Daniela Guzman Tejeda, Duvan Antonio Ramirez Lotta, Alexander A.
