Automated Irrigation Control System National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine  Institute of Water Problems and Land Reclamation Automated Irrigation Control System Project to the competition innovation projects ”Innovation – 2018” Author: Aleksander Wojtowich

Smart irrigation 2018 Online irrigation monitoring Field real time monitoring, 24/7 from anywhere in the world Our work focused on optimizing water management in agricultural sector

Smart irrigation 2018 The proposed system must be able to monitor a crop and automatically supply the amount of water needed, this will be done through a predictive model with input variables regarding the climate, humidity of the subsoil, temperature and the time of the day.

Automatic soil moisture detector based on tensiometer The classical tensiometer vacuum gauge is replaced by an electronic pressure gauge

Allowed to obtain indicators of the potential of soil moisture in digital form

Controller with mobile data transfer to server Specifically, we will design a system that is capable of collecting heterogeneous information from its environment, using sensors for temperature,humidity and moisture. Main station sensors have batteries that are continuously charged from solar energy.

for controlling different types of sensors Field controller autonomus power supply  for controlling different types of sensors Electronic tensiometers of own production   Resistive sensors such as Watermark Dielectric conductivity sensors

Automated monitoring: - air temperature - air humidity   Automated monitoring: - air temperature - air humidity - atmospheric pressure soil moisture rain volume measure - weather forecast for 5 days

The developed system can be deployed in any geographical location, provided that there is a data connection (Wi-Fi/3 G GSM) allowing the data from the sensors to be sent to a platform that resides on a central server. All main station have batteries that are continuously charged from solar energy.

Fields generally have very vast areas and sensors often installed at large distances from one another, this is why a wireless connection between them is necessary.

Smart irrigation 2018 The distance between the central zones depends on the visibility obetween the nodes. Using a 433 MHz LoRa range we attained interconnectivity between the nodes at a direct line of sight approximately 10 kilometers ..

Data from the field is continuously transfer to the server  Display information in the form of tables and charts

View data in real time, as well as in reports per day, month, year  Ability to inform the user about the state of the field by e-mail

Main station Using this system, farmers can install a network of wireless sensors on their farms to gather information on factors affecting the crops’ requirement for water, based on soil moisture, atmospheric temperature and precipitation.
