ABSTRACT

Irrigation system uses gate valves to turn the irrigation ON and OFF. These valves can be easily automated by using controllers and solenoid valves [3]. Automating farm or nursery irrigation allows farmers to apply the right amount of water at the right time, regardless of the availability of labor to turn valves on and off. In addition, farmers using automation equipment are able to reduce runoff from over watering saturated soils, avoid irrigating at the wrong time of day. Automatic closed circuit for mini-sprinkler irrigation system (MSIS) is a valuable tool to maintain adequate soil moisture control in highly specialized greenhouse vegetable production. It is simple and precise method for irrigation. It also helps in: saving time, elimination of human error in adjusting available soil moisture levels and to maximize the net profi ts.
