Managing Greenhouse Irrigation with Remote Control

The Benefits of Semi-Automatic Irrigation Control.

In protected environments such as greenhouses and nurseries, efficient irrigation management is crucial for maximizing crop productivity and ensuring uniform growth. During the summer, this need becomes even more critical due to high temperatures and the increased water demand of the seedlings. Accurate water flow control, tailored to environmental conditions and specific plant needs, not only improves crop quality but also helps reduce waste.

Atlantic Man’s mobile irrigation wings, equipped with remote control, offer a practical and effective solution for managing irrigation with greater precision and flexibility.

Features

Using the remote control for Atlantic Man.’s irrigation wings allows for quick responses to the actual needs of the nursery. This control system includes the following key features:

• Start/Stop: Initiates and stops the movement of the booms, enabling precise control of the irrigation cycle.
• Forward/Backward: Controls the movement of the booms in both directions, ensuring uniform coverage of all nursery sectors.
• Electrovalve On/Off: Activates or deactivates the electrovalves to regulate water flow, optimizing consumption and preventing waste.

Advantages

Managing irrigation booms with a remote control offers several advantages:

1. Quick and Direct Control: The operator can adjust irrigation to the specific needs of each nursery sector. This level of control is more difficult to achieve with a centralized system located many meters away, making the remote control a valuable alternative to panel programming.
2. Flexibility and Adaptability: Perfect for dynamic nurseries with frequent changes in plant layout and irrigation needs, the remote control allows for quick and precise adjustments.
3. Efficiency and Water Savings: By being able to stop water flow and direct irrigation exactly where it’s needed, the remote control contributes to more efficient water use, reducing waste and improving environmental sustainability.
4. Ease of Use: The remote control is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, allowing even less experienced operators to effectively manage irrigation.
