What is smart irrigation and what are the advantages?

With the advent of the 5G era, people's science and technology levels continue to improve. Today, when the quality of life is gradually superior, intelligent equipment is more and more favored by people. They all say: people take food as their heaven. As a large agricultural country, of course, we are constantly improving irrigation intelligence in irrigation technology.

As we all know, irrigation plays a pivotal role in agricultural planting. Irrigation methods have been steadily advancing with the advancement of science and technology, from the initial time-consuming and laborious manpower irrigation to pump irrigation, and then to the more popular drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation in modern times. As far as the current market is concerned, the application rate of drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation is relatively high, especially for urban greening and agricultural and forestry planting bases. However, with the development of irrigation technology, more and more people are beginning to admire the time-saving and labor-saving intelligent irrigation mode. The biggest advantage of smart irrigation is time-saving, worry-saving and labor-saving.

Advantages and disadvantages of drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation

Drip irrigation technology is an irrigation method in which water pipelines are laid in the field, and then the water flow is directed to the crops through the pipeline. Its advantage is that it saves water, which can save water by 20-25% compared to sprinkler irrigation, but the cost is relatively high.

Sprinkler irrigation is an advanced irrigation technology that uses power to spray water into the air and then falls into the field like rainfall for irrigation. Sprinkler irrigation has many advantages. It saves water and does not damage the soil structure. It is also conducive to regulating the field microclimate. It is not restricted by the terrain, but it consumes power and metal materials, and the equipment cost is high.

Drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation itself are a relatively advanced irrigation method, but drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation are both inseparable from the constant attention and management of personnel. For example, when do you need to irrigate crops? When to close the irrigation equipment, these are all determined by planting experience! Therefore, whether the irrigation is really timely and the amount of irrigation is really reasonable, these are all questions!

So what is smart irrigation?

As the name suggests, the advantage of intelligent irrigation is intelligence. Intelligent irrigation adds an intelligent control system on the basis of drip irrigation. The intelligent control system monitors soil moisture information through a soil moisture sensor. The soil moisture sensor is placed in the soil. When the soil moisture is lower than the standard The system will automatically turn on the drip irrigation equipment to irrigate the crops. When the soil moisture reaches the standard value, the system can automatically turn off the irrigation equipment. Through such automatic control with data to rely on, the irrigation in planting is more reasonable!

What are the advantages of smart irrigation?

1. Save water. Because of its fully automated integrated equipment and electronic information collection, it can detect the farmland environment in real time, and rationally irrigate the farmland based on crop growth conditions and reduce water waste. Irrigation uses pipes, spray guns or sprinklers to form sprinkler irrigation, evenly, quantitatively, and regularly spray the farmland, effectively detect and control the amount of water source, and save water source waste to a certain extent.

2. Due to the influence of geographical conditions, environmental climate, and soil differences, the growth of crops will be subject to certain restrictions, but the water-saving irrigation system, real-time monitoring of soil conditions, effectively improves the soil environment and creates better growth conditions for crops.

3. Reduce labor costs. We all know that the area of ​​farmland is large, and it takes a lot of time and manpower to irrigate. Water-saving irrigation is a fully automatic irrigation mode. With PC display platform and mobile terminal, it can be irrigated through remote control.

The above is the introduction of intelligent agricultural equipment. In fact, intelligent irrigation equipment has been popularized in many planting bases, such as intelligent water and fertilizer integrated machine. Through the application of automated equipment, the intelligent water and fertilizer integrated machine not only saves manpower, but also through timely data, compared with manpower relying on experience planting, it can improve the growth environment of crops in a timely manner, thereby increasing crop yields. I believe that with the planting industry With the development of the world, the application of smart agricultural equipment will increase.

Intelligent sprinkler irrigation system can be widely used in vegetable, flower, orchard, medicinal plants and other planting places. Vigorously promote and apply intelligent sprinkler irrigation system, and implement automatic control irrigation. It can not only change the current widespread behavior of extensive irrigation, increase the utilization rate of irrigation water, and realize energy saving. Water irrigation saves costs and increases efficiency, and is highly consistent with the development direction of modern green agriculture and scientific and technological agriculture. It is playing an irreplaceable role in modern agricultural production in my country.
