Diseño de un sistema de gestión de riego mediante red de sensores a fin de aportar en la tecnificación del cultivo de solanum phureja para la sostenibilidad de la vereda Santa Ana en el municipio de Monguí.

Abstract

The Department of Boyacá is recognized as one of the agricultural powers of Colombia (UNDP, 2011), since one of its main tasks is associated with agriculture, thanks to its ecosystem richness and biodiversity that includes terrain, climate, potential of areas irrigable, among others (Arias and Antosova, 2015). However, there are some difficulties that limit the implementation of actions that promote the sustainability of the community. The purpose of this project is to contribute to sustainability and food sovereignty, to through the modernization of the field as the main context of provision, because recognize some environmental difficulties that affect the need to generate proposals innovative through social participation. One of these variables is associated with evil exploitation and use of water resources, and low quality in cultivation, which are the result of the lack of training of producers, characteristics of the terrain, climate change, steep slopes, production costs that affect the exit from rural to urban areas in search for opportunities. Through water rationing, and therefore social justice and efficiency economic situation of the population of the municipality of Monguí, this project has been carried out affects a very important sector such as agriculture, which not only guarantees security food of peasant families, but also justice in the entire population, which has The objective is to establish a management system that allows the good management and efficient use of the water resources authorized for the operation of a Solanum Phureja crop in the municipality of Monguí, Vereda Santa Ana. Irrigation and drainage systems are a demand dissatisfied in a country with a diverse agricultural base. Producers across the country are waiting more investments to ensure your crops and feed are not damaged by change climate. This work is developed as follows: in the first phase, it is established to determine the environmental factors that must be considered for optimal irrigation of potato crops, as well as such as the equipment necessary for the irrigation control system and monitoring of variables environmental; In the second phase, it is proposed to determine the water needs that will ensure the quality of Solanum phureja production; In the third phase it is necessary to develop the prototype of the irrigation management system through a sensor network taking into account the requirements of the land and the needs of the inhabitants of the village and in the fourth phase the validation of the automated irrigation system in terms of optimizing water use. With the implementation of this system, manual operations will be automated and empirical studies of the Santa Ana village, environmental impacts will be reduced through management adequate water supply and night trips to the crop will be reduced.
