Description
Sensor operated irrigation systems combine the possibilities of efficient water use with saving labor cost. In Thailand, fruits are produced under heterogeneous conditions. In order to account for these differences, a variety of technological solutions will be developed in this project. These are tensiometer operated mechanical control units for marginal sites in mountainous regions as well as electronic control systems for automated irrigation in commercial fruit production. Special focus will be on innovative components for automated deficit irrigation, where first-time prototypes of turn-key solutions will be developed.
