This article deals with the issue of solar-powered irrigation, specifically, by connecting a solar power source to a drip irrigation system. Thanks to an independent energy source the irrigation system is able to work anywhere. In addition to energy independence, thanks to the drip mode of irrigation, another benefit is water saving, which is up to 70% compared to conventional irrigation. The simplicity of this system allows use both in small gardens and in agriculture. Another advantage of the system is its expandability with various sensors (e.g. soil moisture monitoring), which will help with more efficient management of watering.

Soil Moisture Distribution

Drip irrigation system uniformity can preserve a higher crop yield and deplete the initial investment of cost. The experiment was conducted at precision farming development centre research farm, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, to evaluate the uniformity coefficient and soil moisture distribution under drip irrigation system. The experiment was designed under Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) which included three fertigation levels 80%, 100% and 120% of Recommended Dose of fertilizers which were replicated thrice. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) was obtained as 0.0207 per cent kept at a constant pressure of 50.66 kPa, Statistical Uniformity (SU) as 97 per cent and Coefficient of Uniformity (CU) as 0.9518. As the elapsed time increased, the rate of increase of wetted zone diameter decreased. A high R2 value of 0.97 shows the goodness of fit for the horizontal movement. The mean soil moisture distribution 39.2 per cent was observed below the emitter at the depth of 10 cm immediately after irrigation.
