AUTOMATED IRRIGATION CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

An automated irrigation control comprising crop sensor physically attached to a crop and a light sensitive sensor having a photo-detector for monitoring light intensity of a crop, an irrigation conduit extending along the span of the irrigation zone and adapted to carry fluid, with one or more controllable valves and sensors, growth sensors placed in close proximity of the crop sensors, a computer control system, an irrigation controller, and a communications link between the computer control system, the one or more crop sensor, the three or more growth sensors, and the irrigation controller.

1. An automated irrigation control system comprising:
a one or more crop sensor physically attached to a crop, wherein the crop sensor comprises a light sensitive sensor having a photo-detector for monitoring light intensity of a crop; an irrigation conduit extending along the span of the irrigation zone and adapted to carry fluid, wherein the irrigation conduit comprises one or more controllable valves and sensors; a three or more growth sensors placed in close proximity of the one or more crop sensors; a computer control system; an irrigation controller, coupled to the crop sensor and the computer control system, that activates the one or more controllable valves, and receives data from sensors coupled to the irrigation controller; and a communications link between the computer control system, the one or more crop sensor, the three or more growth sensors, and the irrigation controller.
