Water and Fertilizer Integration Machine with Timer

Many farmers, especially beginners, seewater and fertilizer integration machine with timera panacea for all ills. The ideal picture is uniform distribution of water and nutrients, saving resources, increasing productivity. But the reality is often more complicated. Not allfertilizer application systemsare equally effective, and setting them up and maintaining them correctly is an art. We at Shandong Linyao Intelligent Agriculture Technology Co.,Ltd face these challenges every day. This text is not a theoretical exposition, but rather notes, observations and conclusions made in the process of working with farmers.

Busting myths: about simplicity and versatility

Often people think thatautomatic watering and fertilizing systems– This is a simple 'plug and play' option. In fact, choosing the right model, configuring it and integrating it with the existing infrastructure is a task that requires knowledge and experience. Trying to save money on consultations and installation often leads to disappointment and, ultimately, to losses. For example, we have more than once encountered cases where cheapfertilizer dispensersturned out to be inaccurate, which led to either insufficient or excessive feeding of plants. This naturally affects the yield and quality of products. Ultimately, the savings at the initial stage resulted in significantly greater losses.

It is important to understand that different crops require different watering and fertilizing regimes. One and the sameuniversal unitmay be completely unsuitable for growing, for example, tomatoes and potatoes. Individual settings are needed, taking into account the plant growth phase, soil type, and climatic conditions. Simply copying settings received from a neighbor or from the Internet is a direct path to errors.

Technical difficulties: electronics, pumps, sensors

Don't forget about the technical aspects.Fertilizer systemis a complex complex consisting of electronics, pumps, sensors and other components. Electronics can fail due to voltage fluctuations, pumps can fail due to contamination or wear, and sensors can fail due to inaccurate calibration or improper installation. Tests are constantly carried out in our laboratories to improve reliability.automatic watering and fertilizing devices.

Problems with water quality are especially common. Hard water, the presence of impurities and salts can lead to clogging of the dosing elements and damage to the pumps. Therefore, before installing the system, it is necessary to conduct a water analysis and, if necessary, install a filtration system. Usagemachines for integrating water and fertilizersdoes not solve the problem of contaminated water - it only aggravates its consequences if appropriate measures are not taken.

Real example: performance optimizationfertilizer application unitat the farm 'Sunny Valley'

We recently worked with Sun Valley Farm in Shandong Province. They had it installedmachine for integrated irrigation and fertilization, but it worked ineffectively. We discovered that the dosing elements were dirty, the water level sensor was not working correctly, and the automatic watering program was not set correctly. After diagnosing and eliminating all problems, as well as adjusting the system according to the needs of specific crops and soil type, yields increased by 15% and fertilizer consumption decreased by 10%. This is an example of how proper setup and maintenancefertilizer application systemscan bring tangible economic benefits.

In addition, we introduced a remote monitoring and control system, which allowed farmers to control the workautomatic watering and fertilizationfrom anywhere in the world. This greatly simplified the farm management process and made it possible to quickly respond to emerging problems. I believe this direction will only develop in the future.

Futureintelligent fertilization systems: machine learning and big data

Our company is actively developing new technologies in the fieldintelligent farming. We believe that in the future, fertilization systems will use machine learning and big data to optimize the watering and fertilization process. For example, based on data received from sensors, the system will be able to automatically adjust the dosage of fertilizers depending on the needs of plants at a particular time. This will allow you to achieve maximum efficiency and minimize the negative impact on the environment.

We are currently testing a prototypeautomatic watering and fertilizing system, which uses machine learning algorithms to analyze data about soil, weather and plant health. We hope to be able to offer farmers more efficient and smart solutions in the near future to increase yields and reduce costs. Shandong Linyao Intelligent Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd. is always open for cooperation and ready to help farmers solve any problems related toautomation of agriculture.
