Abstract:

Improving crop production is receiving much attention in recent years, but this does not mean that we should spend more water than necessary to keep them constantly hydrated or increase the consumption of fertiliser for higher production, although these practices are still performed to date, taking advantage of technology, and electronic automation can implement an automated system that can irrigate regularly and constantly, at times that are conducive and timely, applying sensors can monitor crops. The humidity sensor determines if the roots are lacking water, the temperature sensor determines the temperature of the soil, and the rain sensor gives us the conditions of aqueous precipitation; when these conditions are adequate and are not harmful, irrigation is executed immediately, in addition, a level sensor determines the existence of water in the reservoir at the start or during the process is exhausted, the system will issue a message on your screen, with a warning to supply the reservoir. This whole process is done automatically without human intervention. This process makes a substantial saving in water consumption, with an average of 3.8 litres per 1.65 m² area approximately, due to the fact that the ducts are placed in the ground with drippers that take the water directly to the crop plant without it being wasted.
