Smart irrigation system leaves traditional methods of irrigation behind in the dust. As technology evolves with each passing year, it’s only getting smarter. So why use smart irrigation instead of conventional methods of irrigation? Traditional irrigation systems are pre-set manually to turn on and off using a timer. It doesn’t matter if an unexpected downpour/drizzle occurs on a day or the soil is still moist or oversaturated with water. That timer is pre-set to water on each scheduled day; rain, or shine without fail. It works but in this day of time smart irrigation have evolved beyond just daily scheduling! Studies show that 60% of water consumption around the world is used for irrigation, and half of that is wasted due to inefficient, traditional irrigation practices. The optimal way to manage irrigation and nurture your crops and plants would be to know how much hydration plant roots need at each stage of their growth. Smart Irrigation have been in the market for quite some time, however the technology have been eolving to make the system more 'smarter'. Now, smart irrigation can control watering your plants, crops and landscape, adjusting the pH / EC Conductivity according to the daily weather variables. By continuously collecting and ingesting weather & climate data in real-time at your specific site for tracking and future crop improvements. Smart Irrigation systems save water, time, and money. Studies show that up to 50% of water usage for landscape irrigation can be saved with cloud-based Smart Irrigation systems. As a result, Smart systems typically pay for themselves in water savings within two years. Smart Irrigation is not only cost-effective, but also the responsible thing to do. Not only in these times of drought, but as we strive to conserve our finite and dwindling water sources, and protect our environment and leave our world a better place for future generations to come. The 5 main features of smart irrigation Remote Control / Remote Access One of the biggest decisions when choosing a controller is how you are going to control it. You have to ask yourself, do you want to control your irrigation remotely via a smartphone app, or would you rather control it directly on the device with buttons? Either way that is more convenient for your setup would be the best for you. Remote access gives you flexibility to login and access your system from anywhere. Giving you peace of mind when you are travelling or not around your farm. Set Up Separate Irrigation Zones (for plants at different growing stages) Each irrigation valve irrigates its own area. Therefore one valve is one irrigation zone. You can personalize each irrigation zone to water the soil or substrates needs according to each crop. The more zones you have, the equal amount of valves you need. One thing to note is to make sure your irrigation controller is programed to support as many zones as you need. Irrigation Scheduling Think in advance how you want to use your smart irrigation. How complex will it be? Irrigation controllers vary when it comes to scheduling options. Scheduling is a very useful feature, as it gives you peace of mind - even when you’re on vacation. When connected to a moisture sensor, it can automatically shorten or prolong irrigation times to make sure your plants are not thirsty or drowning in water. If you need specific scheduling options, make sure the controller supports it before purchasing. Get Notified Notifications are useful and convenient. You can get notified when the irrigation starts, when it’s completed, if there are any errors, some smart controller even notify you if there is some errors with the irrigation, therefore protecting your crop and systems hardware. Even Smarter Smart Irrigation Some irrigation systems can go one step further and take into account the weather and the local environment. Smart scheduling is a great idea that could optimize irrigation even further, for example by using sensors to detect rainfall or detecting humidity in soil, we can programe the irrigation system to irrigate the appropiate amount the plant needs. In conclusion, making your watering system smart is a smart thing to do. Your main benefits will be: Set us schedules to water your crops automatically Add sensors (rain, soil wetness, etc.) to know better what your plants need Get notifications and prevent irreversible actions like leakages or overdosing Save water - environment-friendly solution Lower water bills Excel Seeds Trading & Irritec Malaysia - Smart Coconut Farm Project ( Smart Irrigation ) Brief Introduction on Irritec Gruppo Irritec was established in Sicily in 1974 and is one of the leading smart irrigation companies worldwide.

What is nutrient use efficiency? From a farmers perspective, nutrient efficiency can be usually defined as the nutrients applied are all taken up or absorbed by the corp. Nutrient use efficiency (NUE) is a critically important concept in the evaluation of crop production systems, its nutrients inputs as well as its outputs. It can be greatly impacted by fertilizer management as well as by soil- and plant-water management. The objective of nutrient use is to increase the overall performance of cropping systems by providing economically optimum nourishment to the crop while minimizing nutrient losses from the field. NUE addresses some but not all aspects of that performance. FACT Nutrient & Fertilizer Management Facts Nitrogen is the nutrient that most frequently limits irrigated crop production in Malaysia The nitrate (NO3– ) form of nitrogen fertilizer is extremely soluble and subject to runoff and leaching losses. Phosphorus in soils is tightly held to soil particles and may contaminate surface water through soil erosion in runoff. Organic forms of phosphorus found in humus, manure, and crop residues tend to be more soluble. CLASSIFICATION OF FERTILISERS 1. Straight fertilizers: Straight fertilizer is a fertilizer that contribute single nutrient to the crops. Few examples of straight fertilizer are urea, rock phosphate, ammonia, ammonium sulfate and muriate of potash. Straight fertilizer can be used straight to the crops but the nutrients that have been supply are incomplete. This fertilizer usually mixed with other types of fertilizer to formulate mixed fertilizer and compound fertilizer. The advantage of this straight fertilizer is because of the low price compare to the other fertilizer. But, the effect to the crops is not good enough. Straight fertilizer usually contributes one of these 3 main nutrients to the crops which are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) or mostly known as NPK. Nitrogen fertilizer – Nitrogen is one of the main elements which can be found in most commercial fertilizer. Nitrogen is important to the crops because nitrogen is a component in plant cells (chlorophyll) which gives the green look for the plants. Nitrogen function is to supply foods to the plant during photosynthesis and enhance the plants growth. Lack of nitrogen will cause the leaf become yellowish and consequence on the plant growth. Phosphorus (P) – Phosphorus is a second ingredient in fertilizer. It will act to enhance root growth and flowering. The root will grow deep and tree becomes much stronger. Nutrient will also be absorbed effectively by the roots. Potassium (K) – Potassium is also an important component in numerous fertilizers. It is important in flowering and fruiting purpose. Lack of potassium will have an effect on the plants protein synthesis. Potassium will support in plant chemical process such as carbohydrate, sugar, protein, and enzyme synthesis for plant growth. 2. Complex / Compound fertilizers: Complex fertilizers contain two or three primary plant nutrients of which two primary nutrients are in chemical combination. These fertilisers are usually produced in granular form. Complex / Compound fertilizers, which contain N, P, and K, can often be produced by mixing straight fertilizers. In some cases, chemical reactions occur between the two or more components. For example, mono-ammonium and diammonium phosphates, which provide plants with both N and P, are produced by neutralizing phosphoric acid (from phosphate rock) and ammonia : NH3 + H3PO4 → (NH4)H2PO4 2 NH3 + H3PO4 → (NH4)2HPO4 WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO MANAGE FERTILIZER USE? ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Nitrogen and phosphorous occur naturally in streams throughout Utah and are important nutrients to aquatic ecosystems. However, too much of these nutrients can cause serious problems in lakes and streams. Often times in agricultural areas, excess nitrogen enters the system from animal operations or from irrigation return flow. These added nutrients may lead to fish kills, noxious aquatic plant growth, and foul odors. SAFE HANDLING/STORING OF FERTILIZER Follow label directions Lock or otherwise secure storage container valves when not in use DO NOT store fertilizer underground in containers or pits Mix and load fertilizers at the application place when possible Handle and store fertilizer away from wellheads and surface water Immediately recover and reuse or properly dispose of fertilizer spills Always store fertilizers in their original containers

Essential Nutrients For Crops Growing Cycle Sunlight, seeds, media and water have been the basic elements in growing a crop. However, for a healthy crop to thrive, micro and macronutrients in sufficient quantities is required Studies have shown that there are several elements that are essential for plant growth : carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulphur (S), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe) and many other micro trace elements. Most of the elements could be obtained by the plant naturally via atmosphere and water, like Carbon, H and O. The remaining essential elements is normally grouped into 3 main categories, primary nutrients, secondary macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients. (Reference : IFA, International Fertilizer Association) If a single essential plant nutrient is insufficient during the growth cycle of a plant, it will stun / affect plant growth thus the yield. By practice, N, P & K elements have been thought to be the most widely deficient elements both in soil and water but, nowadays elements such as Sulphur, Zinc and Boron are increasingly deficient. During harvesting of crops, nutrients from the soil is exported out, this is also known as soil nutrient mining. The nutrients that are exported by harvest is specific to each crop types and species. Therefore to maintain soil fertility and sustainability, nutrients need to be replaced back either by organic sources or manufactured sources. (Reference : IFA, International Fertilizer Association) Organic sources of mineral nutrients could be from natural happening like rock weathering, atmospheric deposition, compost or livestock manure (commonly known is chicken dung fertilizer). However to be able to cope with the current crop production cycle, the natural cycle of organic source fertilizer is not replacing the nutrients fast enough, therefore the introduction of manufactured straight, premixed fertilizers is needed for optimum plant growth. (Reference : IFA, International Fertilizer Association) Fertilizers containing only one primary nutrients are often called straight fertilizers, those with the 3 primary nutrients (N,P,K) are called multi nutrients. Each feertilizer have their own advantages as well as disadvantages, however the types of fertilizer used is totally dependent on the local soil / agro-ecological conditions as well as the crop types.
