QIrriga - aplicativo para manejo de irrigação via clima

Abstract

The unregulated use of water becomes an unsustainable practice, generating several problems, which can be caused due to the inappropriate use of the resource. The use of technologies that enable the rational use of water resources in irrigated agriculture is of fundamental importance for productive and environmental sustainability. The objective of this work was to develop a mobile application for climate-based irrigation management. The QIrriga was developed in Java programming language, using Android Studio, which is an integrated development environment, and enables you to obtain the irrigation time for micro-sprinkler, drip, and conventional sprinkler irrigation systems, and the percentimeter value for center pivot, by entering location, meteorological, irrigation system and crop data, so that the user can manage irrigation in a more efficient and sustainable way. The application also has a user-friendly and easy-to-understand interface. To validate the process and use of the application, the results of the application were compared to values calculated through passages in the literature, with the aid of electronic spreadsheets.
