Data assimilation from soil-crop-climate sensor network in IRRINET DSS
This Innovation plan stems from the increasing interest, from growers and producers organizations, in the adoption of sensors to monitor environmental data related to the soilplant-air system, sometimes even without technical support. In this context, the main issues to be addressed are represented by the lack of data integration and accessibility during the process of acquisition and analysis of environmental data (soil, crop, climate), and by the consequent lack of an actual benefit for the grower in terms of water savings.
The project activities are organized within the following 3 actions:
ACTION 1: Preliminary evaluation of the quality of the monitored data and of their integration protocols within IRRINET.
ACTION 2: Development of protocols and software for the integration of the sensors data monitored within IRRINET
ACTION 3: Application and validation at farm level of the automatic integration system for the site-specific data (weather, soil, crop) within IRRINET. At this stage 4 pilot farms andabout 10-15 test farms will be involved to validate the IRRINET data acquisition system, with field measurements.
The integration of soil, crop and environental sensors within the IRRINET regional DSS for irrigation management will allow farmers to benefit from an increased realiability of the monitored data , to improve the availability of site-specific information, but most of all, to automatize data integration and interactions in the iRRINET portal.
Hereafter, we report the main expected results for this project:
1. Possibility to integrate environmental data from private sensors and weather stations to the IRRINET DSS.
2. Creation of links between IRRINET and weather and soil sensors located in pilot farms.
3. Validation of the IRRINET irrigation scheduling advices based on the irrigation needsi dentified in farms using other site-specific DSSs
4. Identification of regional areas where an increase in sensor density for data acquisition could lead to an improvement in the representativeness of the collected data.
5. Development of a specific installation manual for weather stations according to WTOstandars
6. Development of protocols for validation and integration in IRRINET of weather, soil humidy content, and fruit growth data collected at farm level.
