The article considers the possibility of improving irrigation technology by expanding the functions of the automation system, the introduction of digital technologies and intelligent-advising control systems. The developed control system installed on the irrigation complex “CASCADE” provides control of the irrigation complex and pumping station with the transmission of information to the operator panel, followed by processing and analysis of data. Made on the basis of a programmable logic controller allows you to ensure timely watering with the introduction of the necessary fertilizers and pesticides, control water consumption, fuel level in the generator set and other parameters. It is possible to configure SMS alerts on mobile phones of the staff. The implemented module of the intelligent-advising system allows changing the irrigation rate in accordance with the level of moisture reserves of the field areas in real time, based on the readings of sensors and weather stations, without human intervention
