Three major technological paths for the intelligent development of agricultural water-saving systems
Innovation in Sensor Technology
The new generation of soil moisture sensors is developing towards multi parameter, low-cost, and long-life directions. The latest capacitive sensors can simultaneously monitor soil moisture, temperature, and conductivity, with installation and maintenance costs reduced by 40% compared to the previous generation products. Satellite remote sensing and unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring technology provide new solutions for regional level water management.
Intelligent control system
The irrigation decision system based on artificial intelligence is moving from the experimental stage to commercial application. These systems can integrate multi-source information such as weather forecasts, soil data, and crop growth models to automatically generate the optimal irrigation plan. Mobile remote control has become an industry standard configuration, allowing farm managers to adjust irrigation anytime and anywhere.
Innovation in accessory materials
The upgrading of polymer materials is improving the durability of irrigation systems. The new anti UV additive extends the service life of PVC and PE pipes by more than 30% under strong sunlight conditions. 3D printing technology has begun to be applied to rapid prototyping and small-scale production of complex structural components.
