Rice-irrigation automation using a fuzzy controller and weather forecast by Vinicius A. Uberti, Alzenira da R. Abaide, Luciano L. Pfitscher, Lucio R. Prade, Maicon C. Evaldt, Daniel P. Bernardon, Paulo R. da S. Pereira

“…ABSTRACT This paper presents a new irrigation controller based on fuzzy logic that uses weather forecast data and crop characteristics to evaluate the real-time need for irrigation of rice crops and to increase the efficiency of irrigation systems. Tests were performed with real data obtained from three different crop fields in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, and on four meteorologically different days of the 2021/2022 harvest to demonstrate the ability to reduce power consumption for irrigation; the power consumption on days of heavy precipitation was above 80% under all simulated conditions. …”
