Registration of the Perin collection. ## Control, water and nutrients with clear functions. Automation can organize the opening of sectors, the activation of pumping and the reading of sensors. Fertigation delivers fertilizers to crops via water. Integrating these functions requires checking equipment, energy availability, hydraulic conditions and management plan. Control and monitoring Define what will be programmed, what will be measured and how the operator will monitor failures or adjustments. Connectivity and access to equipment are included in the assessment. Compatibility of inputs Water and fertilizers need to be evaluated for compatibility. Precipitation and deposits may affect application and issuers. Operation sequence The application of nutrients must respect hydraulic stabilization and cleanliness of the lines. The dose and timing come from agronomic management. ## What to gather to talk about the project. - Existing system, sectors and control equipment. - Purpose of programming, monitoring or application of nutrients. - Power, connectivity and operator access. - Water analysis and agronomic management information. You can start with the information you already know. The team organizes the data necessary for the evaluation with you. [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/5514998245219?text=Hello%21+I+want+to+talk+about+automation+and+fertigation.) ## A schedule that can be seen in the field. Records of sectors, times and readings help monitor operation. Provide inspection of components and a routine to review programming. Sensors and controls support decisions; the parameters must represent the actual growing conditions. ## Fertigation: from the fertilizer plan to application. Fertigation is applying fertilizers through irrigation water. Planning needs to combine nutritional management with water quality, product compatibility and the system's ability to distribute the solution. The injection equipment performs the application; The choice of doses and times depends on agronomic evaluation. The design should account for the injection point, the equipment's operating range and measures to prevent backflow into the water source. At handover, ask the team to record the measured injection rate and the pressures during the test. These readings help determine whether operating conditions still match those tested after changing an irrigation zone or adjusting a setting. [Venturi injector: checking pressure and injection rate](https://perinirrigacao.com.br/en/blog/injetor-venturi-fertirrigacao/) ## Define what the operator can program and monitor. The proposal must identify the controlled sectors, the activations, the available readings and how alerts and failures will be handled. Remote control depends on the expected equipment and connectivity; an automated installation may require in-person monitoring. Inform the current components and what you want to improve: schedules, opening of sectors, data recording or application of nutrients. The assessment guides what can be integrated and what adjustments need to be included in the budget. ## Fertigation in the Fazenda Santa Clara project. Perin describes fertigation and filtration infrastructure in the technical delivery of the Fazenda Santa Clara. Registration allows you to learn about this application in the avocado orchard in Timburi/SP. ![Aerial view of Fazenda Santa Clara orchard, avocado project in Timburi, SP](https://perinirrigacao.com.br/assets/perin/responsive/project-santa-clara-640-b224762bdeec.webp) ### Fazenda Santa Clara Timburi, SP · 12 ha Discover the project [Fazenda Santa Clara](https://perinirrigacao.com.br/en/projetos/fazenda-santa-clara/) Source: [Perin publication on the technical delivery of the Fazenda Santa Clara](https://pt.linkedin.com/posts/perin-irriga%C3%A7%C3%A3o_inaugura%C3%A7%C3%A3o-e-entrega-t%C3%A9cnica-do-sistema-activity-7486397310462193664-nBfc). ## Questions about automation and fertigation. **Does automating solve irrigation management?** Automation executes commands and can provide readings. Operating times and limits need to be defined and reviewed based on the crop, soil and climate. **Is fertigation the same thing as automation?** No. Fertigation is applying fertilizers through irrigation water. Automation is controlling system functions; they can be integrated when equipment and management are compatible. Technical reference: [Embrapa — fertigation and fertilizer compatibility](https://www.infoteca.cnptia.embrapa.br/infoteca/bitstream/doc/257191/1/SDC219.pdf). Information guides planning; the project and management are defined from the property. ## Let's plan irrigation in your area? Tell the crop, municipality, approximate area and water source.
