Results of a simulation to propose an automated irrigation & monitoring system in crop production using fast charging & solar charge controller

In daily operations related to farming or gardening, watering is the most important cultural practice. Especially in rice cultivation huge amount of water is used. In conventional method continuous standing water is kept above paddy field during whole growing period of rice crop, though it is not necessary to keep continuous standing water in the field. The alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) irrigation systems are a modern technology which saves water as well as increases crop yield. This AWD is being practiced manually in Bangladesh. This proposed model aims to make the AWD irrigation system into automated AWD irrigation system. However huge amount of electric power and fuel are being consumed by irrigation system in the country. The other aims…
