Smart irrigation systems: The foundation of the agriculture of the future

Modern agriculture is not just about planting and harvesting crops. Advances in technology allow us to accurately understand the needs of soil and plants and optimize water use based on these needs. Smart irrigation systems are at the forefront of agricultural digitalization and contribute significantly to more efficient farming, as illustrated in the image.

Why is smart irrigation important?

Water is one of our most important natural resources, and it is often underutilized in agriculture. Traditional irrigation methods are often wasteful and do not take into account the current state of the soil, plants and weather. Smart irrigation systems give farmers real-time data on when and how much water their plants need.

How does smart irrigation work?

Smart irrigation systems are equipped with various sensors and measuring devices that monitor the following parameters:

• Soil moisture: Sensors measure water content deep in the soil and accurately indicate when plant roots need more water.
• Weather data: Systems take into account expected rainfall and temperature to avoid over-watering.
• Plant condition: Some systems can even sense the stress level of plants, ensuring optimal water supply.

The data collected by the sensors is displayed on a central dashboard that shows the current situation in an easy-to-understand format, allowing farmers to react quickly to changes.

The benefits of smart irrigation

1. Water saving: Thanks to accurate measurements, water wastage can be avoided, so we can use up to 30-50% less water.
2. Better crop yield: Optimal water supply ensures that plants grow healthily, resulting in higher and better quality yields.
3. Cost-effectiveness: Reduced water and energy consumption results in significant savings in the long run.
4. Sustainability: Smart systems help protect the environment by minimizing damage caused by over-irrigation, such as soil erosion or nutrient leaching.
