Abstract

Based on the C8051F microcontroller and the Rtx51tny operating system, a group of hand-held irrigation detection device is developed to meet the needs of the water-saving irrigation for the crops planted in karst slope area, in which there is quick changes and tremendous differences of the regional climate. The device has advantages such as simple operation, easy to carry, low cost, wireless control, and so on. By using the device, the complementarities can be integrated between manual control and automatic control. The management of personnel participating in irrigation control system according to the conditions of environment improves the execution efficiency of water-saving irrigation and achieves the crops yield. The test had proved that the device is stable and credible.
