Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated water and fertilizer management, and particularly to an intelligent integrated water and fertilizer optimization method and device based on Internet of Things technology. Background Art

[0002] With the transformation of modern agriculture towards intelligence and precision, the integrated water and fertilizer technology, as the core means to improve resource utilization efficiency, has become a research hotspot in the field of agricultural Internet of Things. Traditional water and fertilizer management mostly relies on manual experience judgment or single environmental parameter control, resulting in problems such as extensive irrigation and fertilization and serious resource waste. In recent years, through the combination of sensor networks and remote control systems, the Internet of Things technology has initially realized farmland environmental monitoring and basic irrigation control. However, the existing systems still have obvious shortcomings in terms of data fusion depth, decision model adaptability, and execution accuracy, and it is difficult to meet the multi-objective optimization requirements in complex farmland environments.

[0003] The current technical system faces multiple bottlenecks: First, sensor networks are mostly limited to single parameter collection (such as only monitoring soil moisture), lacking the collaborative perception of multi-dimensional data of soil - meteorology - crops, resulting in one-sided decision-making basis; Second, traditional optimization models mostly adopt static thresholds or single-objective optimization, and cannot dynamically balance the contradictory relationships among water conservation, yield increase, quality improvement, and environmental protection; Third, the execution system relies on fixed program control, with a lag in response to sudden environmental changes (such as heavy rain, drought), and lacks a closed-loop feedback mechanism, which is prone to cause over-irrigation or fertilization pollution. In addition, existing devices generally have problems such as low hardware redundancy and poor coordination between algorithms and devices, resulting in insufficient system reliability and difficulty in adapting to the long-term stable operation of large-scale farmland.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of the existing integrated water and fertilizer system in terms of data fusion depth, decision model adaptability, and execution accuracy. Summary of the Invention
