The Artificial Intelligence Powered Irrigation System aims to increase productivity, optimize water and fertilizer use and ensure environmental sustainability in the agricultural sector. Using digital sensors and artificial intelligence, the system monitors soil, plant and weather conditions, provides real-time recommendations to farmers and creates personalized irrigation strategies. In this way, farmers can manage agriculture more efficiently, reduce water and fertilizer use, and harvest more and better quality crops.

Problem Area of the Project

Increasing productivity, optimizing the use of water and fertilizers and ensuring environmental sustainability are important issues in the agricultural sector. Traditional farming methods can waste resources, inefficient water use and crop losses. These problems are further complicated by factors such as climate change and population growth. Therefore, there is a need for a smarter and more efficient agricultural management solution.

Social, Economic and Environmental Impact of the Problem

• Social Impact: Efficient agricultural management can increase farmers' income and improve food security. At the same time, digital solutions such as automatic irrigation and fertilization reduce the workload of agricultural workers and provide more ergonomic working conditions.
• Economic Impact: Efficient agricultural management makes it possible to obtain higher product yields with less resources, thus reducing the expenses of the farmers. At the same time, healthier crops and increased production contribute to the revival of agribusiness and economic growth.
• Environmental Impact: Digitalized smart irrigation and fertilization helps to conserve environmental resources by optimizing the use of water and fertilizer. Excessive use of water and the widespread use of chemical fertilizers cause soil erosion and depletion of water resources. This system promotes sustainable agriculture by reducing environmental impacts.

Our Solution Strategy

Netafim, with NeatBeat, is to offer farmers a fully integrated agricultural management with an artificial intelligence supported smart irrigation system. This system monitors soil, plant and weather conditions thanks to digitalized smart sensors and data analytics. Developed by agronomists, the Agronomic Dynamic Crop Models™ system provides real-time recommendations and creates personalized irrigation strategies. In this way, farmers can obtain more and quality products by using less water and fertilizer. To contribute to the development of the product and to create an experience environment for the farmers by developing a cooperation with Netafim on this issue by examining the system with the farmers in the "Smart Village" and giving feedback.

Difference of Solution Strategy

A communication system that farmers can experience and give feedback by getting involved in the applications.

• Full Integration: The system combines and manages all important agricultural processes such as automatic irrigation, fertilization and crop protection on a single platform.
• Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics: Artificial intelligence and data analytics evaluate agricultural data and offer farmers the most appropriate strategies.
• Real-Time Tracking: The system monitors the soil and plant status in real time and provides quick intervention.
• Focused on Sustainability: Digital solutions support environmental sustainability by optimizing the use of water and fertilizers.

Difference and Goals

• Efficiency: To achieve a more efficient agricultural management by optimizing the use of water and fertilizer with digital solutions.
• Easy Access: With smart phone and cloud-based software, farmers can easily monitor and control the system from anywhere.
• Personalization: Providing optimal care by offering customized irrigation strategies for each field.
• Environmental Sustainability: Minimizing environmental impacts by reducing resource use.

Project Studies and Presentation

• Press Launch was in "Smart Village".
• The system has been improved with constant updates with farmer feedback.
• Training and awareness programs were organized for farmers, agricultural associations and cooperatives and local agricultural experts.
• At the same time, project promotions were held at various events and fairs in the agricultural sector.
