PC-BASED AUTOMATED DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM

In this work, we propose a contribution to the development of greenhouse production in Morocco. The proposed solution involves the development of an integrated system for automate the drip fertilizing irrigation in greenhouse. The solution adopted involves a data acquisition card PCL-812PG controlled by PC. The irrigation is provided by a hydraulic circuit based on an electric pump. Water needs are evaluated by measuring soil water status by soil humidity sensor. A graphical interface was developed using LabVIEW to manage and monitor irrigation and fertigation. Full system was implemented in Laboratory of Electronics, Automation and Biotechnology of the Faculty of Sciences Meknes in Morocco.
