PRECISION IRRIGATION – STRATEGY FOR SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF RECLAMATION

Abstract

Purpose: to analyze domestic and foreign experience in the application of systems or individual elements of precision irrigation. The analysis of literary sources, scientific and technical information on the development and use in agricultural production of technical and technological means for precision irrigation technology, including the work of foreign researchers is presented. As a result of the work carried out, it was found that most authors agree that the use of precision farming is impossible without the development of methods for remote sensing of the agricultural complex, improving the quality of spectral survey. Conclusions. Against the background of the analysis and consideration of the work of various researchers, it is concluded that the complex of technical and technological means (solutions) of sprinkling equipment for precision irrigation proposed by the staff of the Russian Scientific Research Institute of Land Improvement Problems is an advanced development and can be used as part of modern sprinkler machines. The essence of the development is as follows: the obtained data of remote sensing, the object of which is the moisture content of plants by field segments and the data on the positioning of the sprinkler on the field allow the processor installed on the machine to process the data and implement precision irrigation technology, in which the dosed volume of water is supplied for each field segment with the calculation of soil moisture levelling throughout the field at each irrigation.
