In modern agricultural production, efficient utilization of water and fertilizers is critical to enhancing productivity. However, traditional irrigation and fertilization methods face the following challenges:
Water Inefficiency: A significant portion of water fails to reach crop roots, leading to wasteful usage.
Fertilizer Loss: Uneven distribution of fertilizers in soil results in overuse, environmental pollution, and increased costs.
High Labor Costs: Manual irrigation and fertilization are labor-intensive and inefficient.
The integrated water and fertilizer technology combines irrigation and fertilization. According to the characteristics of soil nutrient content and the nutrient requirements of crop types, soluble solid or liquid fertilizers are mixed into fertilizer solutions. Water and fertilizer are supplied through a controllable pipeline system. After the water and fertilizer are mixed, sprinkler irrigation is formed by pipelines, spray guns or nozzles. The water is evenly, regularly and quantitatively sprayed in the areas where crops grow and develop, keeping the corresponding soil always loose and with an appropriate moisture content. The demand design for different growth stages can also be carried out based on the nutrient requirements of different crops, the soil environment and nutrient content status, as well as the nutrient demand patterns. Water and nutrients can be provided directly to the crops at regular intervals and in fixed quantities in proportion.
It can accurately collect soil moisture conditions such as soil temperature and humidity, and soil EC value, as well as environmental data such as air temperature and humidity, illuminance, and CO2 concentration in real time. It can analyze the growth needs of crops throughout their entire growth cycle and meteorological data for the next 72 hours, formulate scientific irrigation plans, and automatically deliver the required nutrients and water to crops in a timely and quantitative manner, guiding scientific agricultural production.
