The general objective of the project is the development of an intelligent irrigation system based on the monitoring of different environmental parameters in soilless crops. The system will intelligently decide when and how much to irrigate by accurately determining the water status of the crop and the environmental parameters, taking into account the phenological stage of the plant, the type of substrate and the quality of the water used.
Helping the farmer to make decisions associated with irrigation management and allowing them to be implemented and executed in an automated way by means of an ICT solution.
And medium-sized producers who, due to the technological gaps caused by the high cost of implementation and the need for adequate training, cannot benefit from the advantages of modernisation both in terms of management and economic control.
Of food with high added value in greenhouses. To this end, a new, easily adaptable and scalable system for the management and operation of the essential state-of-the-art components.
And indoor cultivation using artificial light, applying new ICT technologies to optimise the growing conditions of the plants. The Hidroleaf project, which aims to promote technological development.
In soilless crops. The system will intelligently decide when and how much to irrigate by accurately determining the water status.
This will make use of innovative ion-selective sensors and biosensors for the efficient monitoring of water, nutrients and their reuse, minimising the impact on the environment.
A pilot system for complete recirculation. The pilot system will be tested on tomato plants, one of the most economically important and widespread crops.
Co-financed by the Instituto de Fomento Región de Murcia and the European Regional Development Fund ERDF. Its main objective is the incorporation in the company of new information.
Joint project with other European technology companies in the agricultural sector, in which a comparative study will be carried out between irrigation water and recycled water and its use in agriculture.
Project financed by the 7th European Framework Programme which proposes to use CO2 and wastewater from farms for agricultural use.
On water and fertiliser productivity in fruit trees and hydroponic crops in greenhouses. In countries with scarce water resources and where irrigation requires more than 70% of water.
Through an innovative algorithm based on a photosynthesis model, in order to achieve the highest photosynthetic production of a given species under glass.
