Application of an electronic tongue using potentiometric sensors to fertigation strategy in greenhouse cultivation
نویسنده
چکیده
For actual needs of increasing crop production and quality in modern agriculture, fertigation is an established approach to implement advanced control schemes. The basic idea of this strategy is to maintain the concentration of specific ions in the recirculated drainage water at a desired level for optimal global function. In this way, nutrients which are uptaken by the plants must be refilled, and the accumulation of undesired components avoided. For this operation, accurate knowledge of concentration levels of individual ions present in fertigation solution is a must.
