Purpose: to develop an experimental model of an automated system for combined irrigation (drip and sprinkler) of agricultural crops. The importance and necessity of using combined irrigation in the cultivation of agricultural crops, including vegetables in arid climates are described. The effectiveness of drip and sprinkler irrigation have been proven by scientific papers of many scientists.
Materials and methods. When developing an experimental model of an automated system for combined irrigation, the research of scientists from scientific research institutes is the methodological basis. The object of the study is an automated system of combined irrigation developed by employees of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “Volga Scientific Research Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Land Reclamation”. The subject of the research is the automation of the process of starting drip and sprinkler irrigation depending on the natural and climatic conditions during the cultivation of agricultural crops.
The result of the research is an automated system of combined irrigation with a control unit and a technological scheme for launching various irrigations.
Conclusions. The conducted research has shown that the implementation of the development ensures: organization of precision irrigation, rational use of water and other resources, monitoring of soil and climatic conditions for making various operational agrotechnical decisions, reduction of labor costs due to automation of processes.
