Irrigation is the most critical process for agriculture, but inefficiencies in traditional irrigation methods & overwatering due to inaccuracy in crop water
estimation cause waste of water & energy.
Smart Irrigation
Smart irrigation systems use sensors to measuring important weather & soil parameters and electronic controllers to automating on/off valves which leads to optimize watering & energy efficiencies.
Smart Irrigation Benefits:
- Save Energy and water
- Automatic/Manual control of irrigation according to sensors values
- No need to presence in Farm or greenhouse
Smart Irrigation Types:
There are two general types of smart irrigation technology: weather based and soil moisture based.
Weather-Based Smart Irrigation:
A weather-based irrigation system use mostly air temperature, humidity, wind speed & solar radiation to estimate evapotranspiration (ET) and make irrigation run-time adjustments so the landscape receives the appropriate amount of water.
Soil Moisture Based:
Instead of using weather data, soil moisture sensor controllers utilize a soil moisture sensor placed belowground in the root zone of lawns to determine water need. The soil moisture sensor estimates the soil volumetric water content. Volumetric water content represents the portion of the total volume of soil occupied by water. The controllers can be adjusted to open the valves and start irrigation once the volumetric water content reaches a user-defined threshold. The appropriate threshold value depends on soil and vegetation type and usually ranges from about 10 percent to 40 percent. Soil moisture sensors must be installed in a representative area of the turf; far enough from sprinkler heads, tree roots, sidewalks and walls
