Sulama Otomasyonu Sistemlerinin Tasarımında Kullanılabilecek İş Akış Şemalarının Oluşturulması

Automation is a mechanical, electronic and computer based technology that enables the operation of various devices, systems and programs without the need for human intervention. The irrigation automation system should be planned with less manpower, more controlled and better quality agricultural production considering the environment, water resources and production cost. It should have the ability to implement the irrigation program in greenhouse, field and garden plants cultivation. Irrigation automation system is formed by following some process steps. These are; preparing the irrigation program, selecting the system components, preparing the project, preparing and testing the software and the establishment of the system. The irrigation automation system, which is passed through these stages, ensures the effective use of irrigation water, reduces labour, controls the irrigation program and reduces production costs. In this study, flow charts have been created which can help to design of irrigation automation systems sensitive to crop water consumption and soil moisture level in root region.
