BENEFITS OF CLIMATE CONTROL AUTOMATION

BENEFITS OF CLIMATE CONTROL AUTOMATION Agricultural automation is not only aimed at optimising resources such as water or fertilisers, but also intervenes and is present in all stages of the cultivation process, regardless of whether the crop is grown in the open air or under glass. For example, in the case of greenhouse crops, the…

ALLIES AND ENEMIES OF AGRICULTURAL AUTOMATION

ALLIES AND ENEMIES OF AGRICULTURAL AUTOMATION Over the las decade, agricultural automation has developed at a very high level, to which Spanish companies, universities and reserch centres have contributed enormously. But more specifically in the Region of Murcia, where many of these technological development niches are located and which has allowed it to achieve international…

WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN AGRICULTURAL INSTALLATIONS

WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN AGRICULTURAL INSTALLATIONS For a more complete control of irrigation and fertigation, it is important to automate and monitor the crop and to use probes that measure the parameters of humidity, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC) in soils and substrates, climatic parameters and agronomic variables. In order to increase the profitability of the farm,…

HUMIDITY PROBES TO OPTIMISE WATER USAGE

HUMIDITY PROBES TO OPTIMISE WATER USAGE Monitoring in real time and continuously the variables of humidity, conductivity, temperature, nutrient concentration, etc. is of great help for correct irrigation management. One of the technological trends to improve the efficiency of water use (understood as the production obtained in a crop per volumen of water used) and…

CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY BY HUMIDIFICATION

CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY BY HUMIDIFICATION Of all the factors in greenhouse production, climate control is the most important. The development of crops in their different stafes of growth is conditioned by different climatic factors such as temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, CO2… On this occasion we are going to discuss humidification as a technique…
