Irrigation Management System for Growers

An irrigation management system is a set of tools and technologies used to efficiently manage the use of water for irrigation purposes. It typically includes sensors, controllers, valves and software applications that help farmers optimize water use, improve crop yields, and reduce water waste.

An irrigation management system can help farmers save water, reduce labor costs, and improve crop yields. By monitoring soil moisture levels, weather conditions, and other variables, farmers can adjust irrigation schedules and amounts to ensure that crops receive the optimal amount of water. This can help to reduce water waste and improve crop health.

Some of the most common sensors used in irrigation management systems include soil moisture sensors, weather sensors, and flow meters. Soil moisture sensors measure the amount of moisture in the soil, while weather sensors measure temperature, humidity, and other weather variables. Flow meters measure the amount of water flowing through irrigation lines.

Traditional irrigation management systems are typically controlled using a central controller, which receives data from sensors and adjusts irrigation schedules and amounts accordingly, however, these are very expensive and difficult to install and maintain. Lumo takes a different approach by building a controller into every smart irrigation valve which makes it incredibly affordable and easy to deploy. 

With Lumo,  farmers can control irrigation remotely using a smartphone or computer.

Yes, irrigation management systems can be used with any type of irrigation system, including drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and flood irrigation. However, the specific sensors and techniques used may vary depending on the type of system being used.

When selecting an irrigation management system, farmers should consider factors such as the size and type of their operation, the crops being grown, and the climate and soil conditions in their area. They should also consider the cost of the system and the level of technical expertise required to operate it.
