Solarfertigation is a Smart Agriculture innovative system. Its architecture, components, and real use cases from the field. This system is designed to integrate the decision-making process and both the fertilization and irrigation automation. The proposed solution is composed by automated irrigation and fertigation, automated fertilizer dosage system and Iot technology integration. This system is designed to be energy self-sufficient thanks to the embedded Photovoltaic plant. Solarfertigation unit is designed not only to provide IoT functionalities, but to combine all the hardware and software components needed to run electrical actuations, software-services and proper network connections.
The proposed application is a peculiar Solarfertigation version: a cooperative system. A single field will be divided into multiple areas, within a cooperative farm. The area will have a single point of water withdrawal, filtration and delivery. In every sub-area there will be installed a slave-solarfertigation. The master device, can define all the agricultural data collection and mechanical procedures for irrigation and/or fertilization.
Solarfertigation bring fertigation and irrigation systems in automation and artificial intelligence era; it integrates "Internet of Things technology”.The system has an Active automated dosage for powder and liquid fertilizer so it allows farmers to change the type and quantity of fertilizers in solution to each fertigation cycle.The system Improve productivity of the land and helps the recovery of unused land for food production thanks to embedded PV plant.
Nowadays, the industrial systems can be categorized in two types: electrical generation and fertigation system. This type of machinery are not able to integrate the mechanical procedures together with the decision support softwares. The following market segments have been investigated: 1) Professional Producer Organizations; 2) The Big organised distribution and the Garden centre; 3) Non-Governmental Organizations.
