Knowledge points related to intelligent irrigation systems
An intelligent irrigation system refers to an agricultural irrigation system that does not require manual control. The system can automatically sense when irrigation is needed and for how long; intelligent irrigation can automatically turn irrigation on or off; it can increase the amount of irrigation when the soil is too dry and reduce it when it is too wet.
Advantages of an intelligent irrigation system:
1. Water saving: When applied to drip irrigation, spray irrigation, and other irrigation methods, it saves more than 50% of water compared to traditional irrigation methods and improves irrigation uniformity.
2. Saving labor costs: Saves more than 90% of labor; one person can manage tens or hundreds of acres of irrigation operations.
3. Reducing diseases: Many diseases of greenhouse crops are soilborne diseases that spread with water. For example, chili blight and tomato wilt can be effectively controlled by drip irrigation. Drip irrigation can reduce the humidity in the greenhouse and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
4. Temperature and humidity control: Intelligent irrigation system manufacturers believe that winter drip irrigation can control the amount of watering, reduce humidity, and increase soil temperature. Traditional furrow irrigation can cause soil compaction, poor air permeability, and hypoxia in the crop root system, resulting in root rot. Drip irrigation can avoid problems such as crop root rot and yellow leaves caused by excessive watering.
5. Water and fertilizer balance: Drip irrigation can supply water and fertilizer according to the crop's water and fertilizer requirements at any time, and can also promote nutrient absorption.
An intelligent irrigation system consists of three parts: an environmental monitoring system, intelligent irrigation, and a cloud service platform. The environmental monitoring system senses the current air environment and soil moisture indicators, and then, through the set corresponding thresholds or manual judgment, implements (automatic, manual) intelligent irrigation control system.
1. Environmental monitoring. Real-time collection of detailed data on the agricultural planting environment and the hardware equipment that constitutes the system, including air temperature and humidity, soil temperature and humidity, light, wind speed and direction, liquid level, pressure, etc., as well as the voltage and signal data of the control terminal, and real-time upload.
2. Intelligent irrigation system manufacturers believe that the three irrigation modes of intelligent irrigation can be flexibly switched between manual/automatic as needed. Cyclic irrigation. Using a certain soil moisture value as a cycle, preset upper and lower thresholds for soil moisture. When the lower limit is reached, the system automatically starts irrigation; when the upper limit is reached, the system automatically closes the valve; remote manual irrigation: The user logs into the intelligent irrigation system cloud platform, views the agricultural planting environment parameters, manually determines whether to start irrigation, and remotely clicks all valves or one valve; timed irrigation: Set a certain time to start irrigation, set the irrigation amount, and open the valve controller to start the irrigation operation at the scheduled time.
