Definitions
- the present invention falls within the technical field of research or analysis of materials, as well as in that of agricultural instruments, and refers in particular to a device for characterizing soil edaphological properties in agriculture.
- Efficiency and profitability in crops not only depends on the contributions of farmers, such as sufficient irrigation dosage or adequate fertilization, but mostly depends on the choice of crop type and the physical-chemical conditions of agricultural soil together with climatological variables.
- a plurality of devices and methods for real-time monitoring of crop health are known in the current state of the art, and based on this, the appropriate treatments can be applied. That is, it is about monitoring and reaction devices and methods.
- Patent number US20060178847 describes an apparatus and a method for monitoring underground soil conditions in real time and communicating data about the subsoil conditions to a monitor, which analyzes the data to warn the operator of the system and automatically start one or more soil treatment processes. It is basically a group of sensors connected to a console that is installed under the surface.
- Patent number US8340828 discloses a system for monitoring the growth conditions of plants in the vicinity of roots.
- a system is provided that applies real-time analysis of the parameters of the growing process and takes into consideration components such as plant, soil, climate, fertilizers and water.
- a management system is designed based on real-time analysis that calculates the amount of water and fertilizers needed for plants each day. It is definitely a method to estimate the amount of water and fertilizers according to the immediate needs of the plant, being a non-integral method of monitoring the state of the plant.
- the patent with publication number US20140379228 describes an agricultural planting system and method comprising a soil sampling and analysis medium, in which soil samples are taken and analyzed in real time during a planting operation to determine soil conditions and nutrient content, and a planting system, where the planting system is capable of planting seeds in any arbitrary position in an XY plane directly below the planting system, so the data collected from the samples of Analyzed soil are used to determine the location in a field.
- This patent basically describes a soil parameter measurement system included in the planting vehicle.
- the present invention relates to a device for characterizing the edaphological properties, mainly physical-chemical type, of soils in agriculture, intended to facilitate the automation of the process of measuring physical-chemical variables of agricultural soils by an underground, autonomous and wireless monitoring system that collects data from the land, analyzes and processes it, giving the user a study of the optimal crops in terms of yield and viability for the type of terrain selected.
- the device takes the physical form of a seed buried in the soil to be studied, with an external housing that houses a plurality of sensors and elements for obtaining physical-chemical data from the ground, processing of said data and wireless transmission of the data to an external processing and control unit.
- the device is characterized in that it comprises, housed inside the housing, sensors to capture the data of the physical-chemical variables of the soil, a storage unit and a transmission unit of said stored data to the processing and control unit , which helps determine the optimal crop for the type of terrain analyzed.
- a method of characterizing the physical-chemical properties of soils comprises the following sequence of actions: - insertion of the devices in the field to be analyzed, taking into account a good distribution of measurement points and variations in the depth levels since each type of crop has very variable root depths;
- Figure 1 Shows a plan view of a cross-section made in one of the measuring elements of the device, in which its main constituent elements and the relationship between them are schematically appreciated.
- Figure 2. Shows a schematic view of the device applied to a cultivated land to be analyzed.
- the device for characterizing soil edaphological properties in agriculture first comprises a plurality of measuring elements (1) intended to be buried in a soil to determine its main edaphological properties.
- each of said measuring elements (1) comprises a hollow interior housing (2), which in this preferred embodiment has an essentially rounded geometry and is made of biodegradable materials, so as not to cause a negative impact on the ground in which are inserted.
- the housing (2) has at least one porous area (3) inwardly in its outer surface, as well as incorporating a plurality of capillaries (4) through between the exterior and the interior. Both the porous area (3) and the capillaries (4) are intended to allow direct contact with the ground in which the device is inserted.
- a plurality of sensors (5) are housed, linked to both the porous area (3) and the capillaries (4), for the determination of physical chemical variables such as moisture content or conductivity electric, among others.
- a data processing and storage unit (6) is linked to the sensors (5), from which it receives the information collected about the aforementioned variables. Said information is transmitted to a wireless transmission unit (7), to be transmitted through transmission antennas (8).
- the device also incorporates, housed inside the housing (2) and linked to the processing and storage unit (6), at least some inertial sensors (9) and a GPS unit (10) to, in combination, determine the location of the device in the field, both in spatial position and in depth.
- a source of energy (1 1) which in this embodiment is a battery of small dimensions, feeds the aforementioned devices.
- FIG. 2 An application in which a plurality of measuring elements (1) is inserted in a field to be analyzed is illustrated in Figure 2.
- the information sent by the wireless transmission unit (7) and the antennas (8) of each of the respective measuring elements (1), reaches an external processing and control unit (12).
- This external processing and control unit (12) comprises at least one database with the growth models of each crop, as well as with the environmental and climatic variables of the land, collected through external climatic studies.
- the external processing and control unit (12) by means of predetermined algorithms, crosses said data with those collected and emitted by the devices and determines an optimal set of crops for the land.
