Maximum Yield Explains Irrigation Control System
Irrigation control systems have evolved over the past decades. Modern irrigation control systems are able to schedule watering according to the weather via temperature and weather sensors. Some irrigation control systems can connect to the internet so that the data collected by the systems can be transmitted to the owner’s database.
There are two categories of irrigation control systems: domestic for home gardening, and professional for use in agricultural businesses that require more flexibility in terms of water volume, calculating the flow rate, and providing feedback.
Controllers may be electric or hydraulic, with most current irrigation control systems being electric.
