All About Agriculture Informatics And Computer Irrigation

By Scott White


Human civilization went in a clean cut trajectory from hunting and gathering down to settling in fertile land for agriculture. In this instance, one would have to constantly work the land, and for bumper crops, irrigation is required. Now, this one requires hard and potentially backbreaking labor. But in this twenty first century, that is no longer the case because you have the boon called Computer Irrigation.

Now, this is an enterprise that very ably integrates standard applications with technological innovations. After all, you have the pretty much primitive word, irrigation, and the more or less postmodern word called computers. Taking one plus one together, perhaps you are catching on what this applications is about. Suffice it to say, it also comes by other alternative names, among which is irrigation informatics.

To a certain extent, some of these claims are true and well founded. However, some issues are more or less down to the nascent nature of the enterprise, more than anything else. For example, since this technology is only budding, it can be understood why its complex, expensive, and uses more energy than is necessary. However, with enough support and informatics, these are really things that one can soon find innovations for.

All in all, it involves automating the whole shebang. It aims to zoom down on the minute details of the operation of the system. There are many components in this system, from the drips to the sprinkles to the surface components, and all these have to be perfectly coordinated. That can be made possible with the help of sensors, timers, and other relevant mechanical and electrical appliances. In this way, the whole operation may be made more efficient.

Technicalities aside, when certain factors and elements are not optimized to their fullest extent, then some resources tend to be wasted. Productivity is also adversely affected, and that can trickle down to other corollaries, such as customer supply shortage, economic losses, and so on and so forth. Therefore, its kind of no wonder how productivity increases are chased by multifarious industries and governments.

General technology aside, we are mostly talking about a control system that is nearly wholly computer based. That means it meshes well both software and hardware. It can be toggled to be fully automatic or just merely interactive. More and more innovations are being created by the day, which allow the operations of these proffered methods without some sort of energy supply. Thats optimization at its finest.

The advantages are literally filled to overflowing here. Because of the nifty automation option, then tedious, manual operation is done away with. Processes are better optimized, and the irrigation frequency and processes are just streamlined, all for the best. Although the knobs and dials can be pretty much complex, it has to be noted that manual operation is a pain in the neck too. New technologies and systems are all leaning towards user friendliness, so in the offing, precluding complexity may be the outstanding boon.

That is backed up by statistical inquiries. After all, its said that irrigation accounts for about thirty six percent of the worlds food production. Now, thats not exactly a scanty number, is it. The thing is, various factors also synonymously come to play. As it is, for it, you need sustainable agriculture, and for that, you need arable land. This is something that does not easily come on by, so you see where many potential problems lie. It is a kind of concurrence for authority figures when they say that irrigation can be considered somewhat as a mature field. It is also stable, needless to say. Meaning that it can just as well survive even with the onslaught of change and technology. That is because this endeavor is irreplaceable. You probably know all about that hullaballoo surrounding GMOs.

The benefits of this automation are too many to mention. However, lets attempt that. For one, theres reduced labor. And then you have streamlined processes, improved lifestyles, reduced waste, and accurate cut offs. Theres reduced use for everything else, even transportation, since the need to rove over the entire field is considerably lessened. There are many sections in the irrigation system, and all of them can be feasibly automated. When it is optimized, then workers can set their sights even higher, thoroughly optimizing the field to its highest potential.
