Scientific seminar on "E-Irrigation" at BSU
11-10-2024

A scientific seminar on "E-Irrigation" dedicated to the "Year of Solidarity for a Green World" has been held at the Institute of Physics Problems at Baku State University (BSU).

The director of the institute, Sadiyar Rahimov, stated that the "E-Irrigation" project, led by Elshan Nasirov, a senior researcher in the Condensed Matter Physics Department, and involving Sara Rahimzadeh, a doctoral student in the Biophysics Department, was awarded third place in the final phase of the "TEKNOFEST-2024" Aerospace and Technology Festival.

Elshan Nasirov emphasized that the winning project explores the possibilities of using robotic technology and artificial intelligence for automatic irrigation, fertilization, and soil monitoring in agriculture.

The system created by the winning team is designed for automatic irrigation, fertilization, and soil monitoring of crop fields, consisting of a central station and several field stations. The field stations measure soil moisture, salinity, and temperature using various sensors and transmit this data to the central station via radio waves. The central station analyzes the incoming data and the optimal irrigation criteria for the planted crop type using special software, deciding when and how much to irrigate, and executing this automatically. Through a mobile application, farmers can monitor all data and processes from their mobile phones and intervene in the process when necessary. Thus, this system minimizes human labor and increases crop productivity.
