Sample Agricultural Technics System

On this work, I tried to create a new watering system on an orange field. I was totally free when creating this system as the lecturer said. He wanted us to make a whole plan on our own from the prices of components to the control system's design. Well, I did something anyway.

AGRICULTURAL TECHNICS ON AN ORANGE FIELD

Product: Orange
Location: Mersin

Information For Required Conditions:
- An average orange field needs nearly 1000 mm water per session.
- Ideal temperatures are between 23°C and -3°C.
- Hot and cold winds effect the trees negative.
- Low rate of humidity is pretty inefficient.
- Optimal soil pH is 5 or 6.

CONTROL SYSTEM

The Prices of Components:

- 2 x 240W solar power panels → 1700 TL

- 12V-24V 30 AH auto charge regulator → 230 TL

- 30 x Lamp for illumination → 60 TL

- Digital humidity and temperature sensor → 27 TL

- Air pressure, wind speed, direction of wind measurement sensor → 1100 $ = nearly 2387 TL

- 1.5 mm diameter 300 m transmission lines → 95 TL

Total Cost: 4499 TL

(1)Solar power is used as a main power system. Supplementary power source is active when solar power system doesn't provide enough energy for the processes.

(2)Wireless transmitter sends to a smart phone a detailed data report per hour. The report includes the rate of humidity, temperature degree, air pressure and instant wind speed.
