Pivot Irrigation Management System
Pivot irrigation management system: As Esular, we bring together the best practices in agriculture and smart irrigation technologies. We automate the control of center pivot and moving pivot systems using well synchronization and irrigation sensors. Thanks to our application, you can easily monitor and manage your irrigation systems across the entire field. We also ensure seamless integration with drip irrigation systems and other irrigation solutions. In this way, we increase efficiency and make irrigation operations continuous.
What is Pivot Irrigation?
Pivot irrigation is an irrigation method widely used in the irrigation of agricultural areas. This system has a circular structure and includes irrigation heads usually mounted on long metal pipes. Pivot irrigation systems are typically equipped with one or more irrigation arms, and these arms rotate on a peripheral frame, ensuring an even distribution of water to the plants.
Pivot irrigation systems are used especially in large open agricultural areas. Some of the main advantages of these systems are:
Pivot irrigation systems are used especially in large open agricultural areas. Some of the main advantages of these systems are:
Automatic Irrigation: Pivot irrigation systems are automatic, so farmers can easily program irrigation operations. This ensures that the irrigation schedule runs regularly and efficiently.
Efficiency: Pivot irrigation ensures the efficient use of water. It can save water by reducing the amount of water needed by plants.
Even Distribution: Pivot systems ensure even distribution of water to plants thanks to irrigation arms. This ensures even growth of plants and increases yield.
Wide Area Coverage: Pivot irrigation systems can cover large agricultural areas and irrigate long distances.
Human Labor and Manpower Savings: Automatic operation reduces the need for labor and manpower.
Pivot irrigation is a popular option among agricultural irrigation methods and is used effectively to support plant growth.
Management of the Pivot Irrigation System
Effective management of the pivot irrigation system is of critical importance in increasing irrigation efficiency. Although these systems perform the irrigation process within automatic scenarios, automatic intervention may sometimes be required for various reasons. Major problems include water depletion in the well, continuation of irrigation after an unexpected stop of pivot movement, pivot overturns, and power outages. Detecting and managing such situations ensures the healthy operation of pivot irrigation systems and the efficient use of water.
1. Monitoring Water Problems in the Well: Providing irrigation water is the basis of pivot irrigation systems. In case of no water or insufficient water in the well, it is important to continuously monitor the system and follow the water source.
2. Monitoring Pivot Movement: Pivots may stop due to mechanical failures or programming errors. These situations should be monitored and resolved quickly.
3. Managing Power Outages: Power outages can affect the operation of pivots. It is important to have generators or alternative power sources for such situations.
4. Prevention of Pivot Overturning: Wind or other external factors can cause pivots to overturn. It should be ensured that pivots are securely fixed and monitored in windy weather conditions and turned off when necessary.
5. Correct Adjustment of the Irrigation Program: The pivot irrigation system must meet the amount of water needed by the plants. The irrigation program should ensure that the right amount of water is given to the plants at the right time.
6. Monitoring Sensors and Controls: Sensors and control devices on the pivot system are important indicators that the system is working properly. These elements need to be monitored and maintained when necessary.
7. Data Recording and Analysis: Data from the pivot irrigation system should be recorded and analyzed. This helps to identify and improve efficiency problems in the system.
Effective management of the pivot irrigation system increases irrigation efficiency and ensures economical use of resources. Therefore, regular monitoring and management of these factors ensures the best irrigation of agricultural areas.
What is a Pivot Irrigation System?
Pivot irrigation, in its general sense, is the irrigation from a certain center with a single line. It is generally a type of irrigation performed by the movement of a mobile irrigation vehicle without using many pipes and equipment in the field. Although there are various types, two different systems, Linear Pivot Irrigation and Center Pivot Irrigation, are widely used. These irrigation systems, as the name suggests, are systems that move in a plane and where irrigation is generally done with guns from the upper part.
Pivot systems can also be called large vehicles moving within the field, as you will see in the image below. The irrigation process is carried out by carrying the sprinkler heads that irrigate a certain area with a certain mechanism.
As Esular, we facilitate this management with the solutions we have developed. With the advanced technology and user-friendly interfaces we provide, we guarantee the smooth operation of pivot irrigation systems. Thanks to the solutions offered by Esular, irrigation operations become more efficient, more reliable, and easier.
In addition, we offer our users 24/7 tracking and control possibilities with our specially developed mobile application. In this way, irrigation systems can be monitored from anywhere at any time and intervened when necessary. With these advanced technology solutions offered by Esular, you can manage your agricultural areas in the best way and maximize efficiency.
