The role of chlorine sensors in agricultural automation

In the field of agricultural automation, although chlorine is not as well known as soil nutrients, temperature and humidity, it will have an impact on agricultural production in certain scenarios. Chlorine sensors can also play an important role. The following explains their roles from different aspects:

 

Ensure agricultural water safety

Monitor irrigation water quality

In some areas, water disinfected with chlorine may be used for agricultural irrigation. Chlorine sensors can monitor the chlorine content in irrigation water in real time to ensure that it is within a safe range, avoid damage to crops due to excessive chlorine content, and affect crop growth and yield.

 

Prevent water pollution

If the source of agricultural water is polluted by industrial wastewater, it may contain excessive chlorine. Chlorine sensors can detect this abnormality in time and remind farmers to take corresponding measures, such as changing the water source or further treating the water, to ensure the quality of irrigation water and provide a good growth environment for crops.

 

Protect the safety of agricultural facilities and personnel

Greenhouse environment monitoring

In greenhouse agriculture, chlorine-containing disinfectants are sometimes used to disinfect the interior of the greenhouse. Chlorine sensors can monitor the concentration of chlorine in the greenhouse to prevent chlorine leakage or excessive concentration during disinfection from causing harm to crops, greenhouse facilities and operators, and ensure the safety and stability of the greenhouse environment.

 

Storage environment monitoring

During the storage of agricultural products, chlorine may be used for fumigation and other treatments to prevent pests and mold. Chlorine sensors can monitor the chlorine concentration in the storage environment in real time, and alarm in time when the concentration exceeds the safe range to protect the quality of agricultural products and the health of storage personnel.

 

Participate in agricultural automation system integration

Data feedback and automatic control

The data collected by the chlorine sensor can be transmitted to the agricultural automation control system. The system analyzes and judges based on these data, and automatically adjusts the operation of related equipment, such as adjusting the flow of irrigation water, the switch of ventilation equipment, etc., to achieve automation and intelligent management of the agricultural production process.

 

Work with other sensors

In agricultural automation, chlorine sensors can work with other types of sensors such as soil moisture sensors, temperature sensors, and light sensors to provide comprehensive environmental information for agricultural production. The data of these sensors complement and verify each other, which helps to more accurately judge the status of the agricultural production environment and provide a more reliable basis for decision-making.
