Part of the book series: Lecture Notes on Data Engineering and Communications Technologies ((LNDECT,volume 83))

Abstract

The paper presents a novel algorithm for decision support in sprinkler irrigation and its software implementation. The proposed algorithm is based on the modeling of moisture transport using a fractional differential generalization of the Richards equation stated in terms of water head and on the usage of particle swarm optimization for model calibration. The paper also describes the algorithm’s implementation that contains a field installed hardware part that monitors soil and surface air condition, and an analytical software part that stores and processes monitoring data in order to provide recommendations on irrigation schedules and rates. The proposed technique allows to increase the simulation accuracy up to 7% while modeling 3 months vegetative period enabling essential increase in the recommendation adaptability to the changing vegetation conditions.
