In the journey toward refined management in modern agriculture, efficient and precise utilization of water and fertilizer resources is key to increasing yields. The NiuBoL farmland water-fertilizer integrated drip irrigation system upgrades previously isolated irrigation facilities into an intelligent sensing and automated execution system through IoT technology, achieving a precise “drip” management mode for plants.
Compared to traditional flood irrigation, this technology achieves over 85% savings in water and fertilizer, significantly reducing water, electricity, and labor costs while enabling data-driven agriculture to leap from “depending on weather” to “digital control.”

Water-fertilizer integration technology uses micro-drip irrigation systems to deliver fertilizers with irrigation water—timely, appropriately, and accurately—to crop root zones based on crop water and nutrient needs and real-time soil conditions.
1.Closed-Loop Control Logic
The core of NiuBoL system lies in its intelligent control loop:
Sensing Perception: Soil moisture sensors monitor underground moisture dynamics in real time.
Threshold Trigger: When moisture reaches the set lower limit, the system automatically opens solenoid valves for irrigation.
Quota Shutoff: When reaching the upper moisture limit or preset irrigation quota, valves automatically close.
This mechanism ensures every drop of nutrient water is efficiently absorbed by crops, effectively avoiding deep seepage and surface evaporation.

The NiuBoL water-fertilizer integration monitoring system is not only an executor but a powerful management platform. Its five core functions ensure refined operation.
2.1Dual-Level Water Usage Control
The system implements strict dual-level metering:
Primary Metering: Total flow meter at water source outlet monitors overall usage.
Secondary Metering: Real-time calculation of branch pipes and plot usage. Combined with valve control, it accurately accounts for input-output ratios in each experimental field or greenhouse.
2.2All-Time Status Monitoring and Warning
Integrates high-precision water level gauges and video surveillance for real-time feedback on water source levels and field operations. Alerts via APP and backend for water depletion, pipe bursts, or valve anomalies.

2.3Automatic and Remote Valve Control
Supports “unattended mode” with automatic valve operation based on soil sensor data. Managers can also remotely intervene manually. This flexibility improves water efficiency while freeing farmers from frequent field trips.
2.4Decision Support and Cost Accounting
Not only records but analyzes data:
Drought Forecasting: Provides irrigation suggestions based on soil moisture and crop growth stages.
Cost Accounting: Automatically generates statistics on water, electricity, and fertilizer usage for precise financial reports in commercial operations.
2.5Portable Mobile Terminal Management
Managers use NiuBoL smartphone terminals to view system status, adjust fertilizer ratios, and issue irrigation commands anytime, anywhere—truly a “farm in your pocket.”

Adopting NiuBoL water-fertilizer integration brings multiple value additions for agricultural producers.
Extreme Resource Utilization: Significantly reduced seepage and evaporation; field water savings over 50%; balanced fertilization saves 40%-50% fertilizer.
Significant Labor Reduction: Tasks requiring multiple people over days now managed by one person for hundreds of acres.
Orchard Benefits: Per-acre savings 300-400 yuan, increased income 300-600 yuan.
Facility Cultivation: Per-acre savings in water/electricity 85-130 yuan, fertilizer 130-250 yuan, pesticides 80-100 yuan, labor 150-200 yuan; comprehensive yield/income increase 1000-2400 yuan.
Improved Soil and Quality: Precise water-fertilizer coupling creates stable growth environments. Tests show orchard yields up 15%-24%, facility vegetables 17%-28%, with better color and uniform sweetness.

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Q1: How does the system protect against poor water quality (e.g., sediment or algae)? | A: Advanced filtration units at the headworks. Sensors monitor pipe pressure; abnormal rises trigger filter blockage warnings. Regular addition of pipeline cleaners prevents organic growth. |
| Q2: Will excessive fertilizer concentration (EC value) trigger alarms? | A: Yes. Integrated EC/pH online monitors detect over-concentration, automatically reducing fertilizer pump power or alerting and stopping injection to protect roots from burn. |
| Q3: Can the system be used in complex terrains like hilly orchards? | A: Absolutely. Pressure-compensating drippers ensure uniform irrigation from hilltop to bottom within pressure range. |
| Q4: How to prevent fertilizer clogging? | A: Use fully water-soluble fertilizers with multi-stage front-end filters. Post-fertilization, system automatically runs clear water flush to prevent salt crystallization in drippers. |
| Q5: Can the system link with weather stations? | A: Yes. Seamless integration with meteorological data—e.g., pausing irrigation upon heavy rain forecast for smarter resource saving. |
| Q6: Is initial investment high? How long to recover costs? | A: Initial equipment costs exist, but savings in labor/fertilizer plus yield gains recover investment in 1-2 seasons for most facility vegetables or high-value orchards. |

NiuBoL farmland water-fertilizer integration monitoring and control system connects environmental sensing, execution control, and management through IoT, addressing urgent issues like labor shortages and low resource efficiency while providing a solid technical foundation for sustainable, high-quality agricultural development.
Precise management, cost reduction and efficiency increase, quality improvement—these are the core values water-fertilizer integration brings to modern agriculture. In the wave of digital agriculture, mastering precise irrigation means mastering the key to prosperity.
