“…The output variable is the duration of irrigation ( D crop ) estimated to meet crop needs. As shown in Figure , triangular and trapezoidal memberships are used to define the inputs and output variables : Very Cold “VC” (0‐15°C), Cold “CO” (5‐25°C), Medium “MD” (15‐35°C), Hot “HO” (25‐45°C) and Very Hot “VH” (35‐50°C) for the inside temperature. Very Low “VL” (0‐15%), Low “LO” (0‐30%), Medium “MD” (15‐45%), High “HI” (30‐60%) and Very High “VH” (50‐60%) for the soil moisture error. Very Short “VS” (0‐2.5), Short “S” (0‐5), Medium “MD” (2.5‐7.5), Long “L” (5‐10) and Very Long “VL” (7.5‐10) for the irrigation duration. …”

This study examines the automatization of irrigation tasks of solar photovoltaic water pumping systems (SPVWPS) in greenhouse applications. A prototype of an embedded control system has been developed for SPVWPS battery-coupled architectures. The new design aims at improving the safety of solar irrigation facility by avoiding the exhaustion of pumping resources (water and energy) while watering. The availabilities of pumping resources are introduced as new requisite inputs of a fuzzy logic-based control system (FLC) so that it can produce adequate and safe irrigation durations. The FLC design consists of two cascaded devices. The first device uses climate data to estimate durations for watering that satisfy crop needs. The second device uses actual resource levels to evaluate the pumping capacity of the SPVWPS regarding requested durations.Watering is performed whenever the pumping capacity of the system represents more than 25% of the total requirement. Test results from an experimental greenhouse prove the effectiveness of the decision-making mechanism that prevents scheduling unsuccessful watering tasks.

Development of a low-cost weather station and real-time monitoring for automated irrigation management

Irrigation is a practice that increases productivity and enables the expansion of agricultural borders. This practice should be well managed to ensure the efficient use of water by plants, and such management requires specialized labor, which increases operating costs. Therefore, the main objective of this study is the implementation of an automated irrigation system that considers factors ranging from water demand to the operation of the system. Because the daily water demand is determined by crop evapotranspiration, a low-cost weather station was developed to acquire data daily. Such data can be used to estimate the reference evapotranspiration (ET0) using the Penman-Monteith model of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Thus, by combining the amount of water required by a crop with the physical and hydraulic properties of the soil and the hydraulic properties of the irrigation system, it was possible to determine the daily frequency and amount of time required for the system to operate to meet the water requirements of the crop without undergoing stress from a deficit or an excess of water. The management/monitoring system was designed and implemented to allow the user to access data remotely through an online application. This application enables the real-time transmission of irrigation-related data, such as weather station data and system logs, obviating the need for the user to be present at the crop site. This allows the supervision of many areas simultaneously with low cost
