“…In relation to this, the use of ICT is an excellent support to efficiently manage water resources 11 . Employing ICT in agriculture is based on using sensors that monitor various agri-environmental variables related to the soil–plant-atmosphere combination to quantify or estimate water requirements 9 . Knowing environmental data allows the evapotranspiration (ET) demand in an area to be calculated, with which the consumption of a given crop can be estimated by applying the corresponding corrective coefficients.…”

Applying the AgroClimatic Evolution web application allows inquiries being made, data being collected and variables being calculated with the data acquired from different public agrometeorological stations on a single platform. Today all these stations from Murcia and Andalusia (Spain) are included, and stations elsewhere in Spain are being incorporated. This web application also offers the possibility of including each user’s own stations, which increases the number and availability of data close to each farmer’s plots. The data collected from stations is employed to collect daily data about weather and times, which are used to calculate the reference evapotranspiration (ETo). All the data are saved in a cloud database to later consult them and study their evolution. The data provided by all the stations are validated by applying the filters indicated in Standard UNE 500540:2004 “Automatic weather stations networks” by eliminating mistaken data that could alter correct ETo calculations. With the filtered data, and having calculated ETo, the user is provided with a comparison made with the raw data supplied by public stations. The main objective of this tool is to optimize the use of water resources available from data acquisition. Managing these data will contribute to make agriculture more sustainable and compatible with the natural environment.

“…En este sentido, se enumeran las principales actuaciones que se han realizado: Se han analizado los cultivos objetivo de un lisímetro de pesada para establecer las dimensiones óptimas para hacerlo estándar (1); se han desarrollado ensayos en campo a fin de obtener un equipo de lisimetría robusto y fiable, cuya información sea útil para el agricultor, dando lugar a bastantes algoritmos (2,6,7); se ha trabajado con sensores de humedad de menor coste (8,9); se ha trabajado para incorporar información agroclimática pública para el empleo en las decisiones del manejo de riego (10).…”

“…De esa manera, se ha trabajado para conseguir que el lisímetro de pesada portable que se ha desarrollado desde el Grupo de Investigación de Ingeniería Agromótica y del Mar tenga robustez y fiabilidad, así como para que ofrezca información útil para la gestión de los cultivos. La óptima gestión de los recursos hídricos no solo pasa por el empleo de la tecnología expuesta, sino también por la adopción de metodologías de manejo inteligentes (2,3). Una vez se dispone de la información de cada parámetro monitorizado, a través del sensor oportuno, hay que procesar la información, y tomar decisiones para actuar sobre el sistema de fertirrigación; todo ello requiere de una interconexión entre distintos elementos, que a día de hoy no es fácil, porque existen multitud de herramientas por separado para cada una de las partes (4).…”

Son muchos los avances tecnológicos en el sector de la fertirrigación, enfocados cada uno a un área concreta. Pero si nos alejamos para cambiar la perspectiva, se hace necesaria una herramienta para la gestión global de toda esta tecnología. Un amplio trabajo está detrás del desarrollo de la plataforma GENHIDRO, que permitirá adquirir información agronómica, analizarla, y tomar decisiones para actuar sobre el sistema de riego. Se podrá alcanzar la aplicación efectiva de tecnologías encaminadas a gestionar el riego inteligente. Palabras clave: GENHIDRO; automatización del riego; lisimetría de pesada.

The management of water resources is a priority problem in agriculture, especially in areas with a limited water supply. The determination of crop water requirements and crop coefficient (Kc) of agricultural crops helps to create an appropriate irrigation schedule for the effective management of irrigation water. A portable smart weighing lysimeter (1000 × 1000 mm and 600 mm depth) was developed at CPCT, IARI, New Delhi for real-time measurement of Crop Coefficient (Kc) and water requirement of chrysanthemum crop and bulk data storage. The paper discusses the assembly, structural and operational design of the portable smart weighting lysimeter. The performance characteristics of the developed lysimeter were evaluated under different load conditions. The Kc values of the chrysanthemum crop obtained from the lysimeter installed inside the greenhouse were Kc ini. 0.43 and 0.38, Kc mid-1.27 and 1.25, and Kc end-0.67 and 0.59 for the years 2019–2020 and 2020–2021, respectively, which apprehensively corroborated with the FAO 56 paper for determination of crop coefficient. The Kc values decreased progressively at the late-season stage because of the maturity and aging of the leaves. The lysimeter’s edge temperature was somewhat higher, whereas the center temperature closely matched the field temperature. The temperature difference between the center and the edge increased as the ambient temperature rose. The developed smart lysimeter system has unique applications due to its real-time measurement, portable attribute, and ability to produce accurate results for determining crop water use and crop coefficient for greenhouse chrysanthemum crops.
