DEFICIT-IRRIGATION CONTROL SYSTEM, BASED ON DYNAMIC ORGANIZATION OF MULTI-AGENTS SYSTEMS AND WIRELESS OR WIRED NETWORK

摘要

A deficit irrigation method is disclosed. The method includes steps of receiving, at a controller, a plurality of inputs including a growth stage of a plant, a development stage of the plant, a water level at a reservoir, and a full irrigation data; computing, at the controller, a stress intensity factor for irrigation of a plant; computing, at the controller, a correction factor based on the calculated stress intensity factor; computing, at the controller, a deficit irrigation factor based on the correction factor and the full irrigation data; and controlling an irrigation valve in a wired or a wireless communication with the controller to enable a deficit irrigation of the plant in accordance with the deficit irrigation factor, wherein the deficit irrigation factor controls when and how much to irrigate via the irrigation valve.

1. A deficit irrigation method comprising:
receiving, at a controller, a plurality of inputs including a growth stage of a plant, a development stage of the plant, a water level at a reservoir, and a full irrigation data; computing, at the controller, a stress intensity factor for irrigation of a plant, wherein:
the stress intensity factor represents a strength of the plant to a deficit irrigation,the stress intensity factor is represented by K having a value between 0 and 1 with a larger value of K reflecting a higher strength to the deficit irrigation and a lower value of K reflecting a lower strength to the deficit irrigation, andthe stress intensity factor is computed based on the age of the plant, the development stage of the plant and the water level in the reservoir; computing, at the controller, a correction factor based on the calculated stress intensity factor; computing, at the controller, a deficit irrigation factor based on the correction factor and the full irrigation data; and controlling an irrigation valve in a wired or a wireless communication with the controller to enable a deficit irrigation of the plant in accordance with the deficit irrigation factor, wherein the deficit irrigation factor controls when and how much to irrigate via the irrigation valve.
