With the global water resources becoming increasingly tight, agricultural irrigation technology is undergoing a revolutionary transformation. The latest research shows that a precise irrigation system based on smart agricultural meteorological stations can help farmers achieve a significant benefit of 30% water conservation and 20% increased production. This innovative technology is redefining the irrigation standards of modern agriculture.
How can intelligent weather stations become the “smart brain” of farmland
In modern farmlands, agricultural meteorological stations have become indispensable intelligent equipment.
Technical principle: Data-driven precise decision-making
The intelligent agricultural meteorological station collects real-time data on the farmland environment through multiple sensors, including key components such as “soil moisture sensor”, “rainfall monitor”, “wind speed and direction meter”, “photosynthetically active radiation sensor” and “temperature and humidity probe”.
“Traditional irrigation is often based on experience rather than data,” said Professor Zhang, an agricultural meteorological expert. “However, smart weather stations can provide micro-environment data accurate to the square meter, telling farmers’ when to water ‘and’ how much to water ‘, truly achieving on-demand water supply.”
The practical application effect is astonishing
In a vegetable planting base in Thailand, remarkable achievements have been made after the adoption of an intelligent weather station system. “Before, we watered by feeling, but now we rely on data,” said Master Li, a major grower. “The system automatically prompts the timing and amount of irrigation. By the end of the year, we have saved one-third of the water bill, and the yield has increased by 20% instead.”
Data shows that each mu of land in this base saves about 120 cubic meters of water annually, the vegetable output increases by 15% to 20%, and the quality has also improved significantly.
Director Wang of the Technology Extension Center of the Ministry of Agriculture pointed out: “With the decline in sensor costs and the popularization of Internet of Things technology, smart weather stations are spreading from large farms to small and medium-sized farmers.” The government has also accelerated this process through subsidy policies to support water-saving agriculture and the national food security strategy.
Future Outlook
With the integration of 5G, artificial intelligence and cloud computing technologies, agricultural meteorological stations are evolving towards greater intelligence and precision. Experts predict that within the next three years, the national coverage rate of intelligent irrigation is expected to increase from the current 15% to over 40%, providing key technical support for ensuring national food security and the sustainable utilization of water resources.
