Abstract
In the urban agriculture project Terrazas Verdes,
the lack of control in the frequency of crop irrigation was
recognized as a cause of dehydration, growth deficiency and
loss of crop quality, evidencing the need for a low-cost irrigation
system that propitiate an adequate development of agriculture
within the cities. Therefore, this project was developed aiming
at the automation of the irrigation system in urban agriculture
modules through the use of a TUE-2(A) programmable relay. As
a test crop, 2 modules of 50 lettuce seedlings were used. A
quantitative analysis of the amount of lettuces harvested was
carried out and a qualitative analysis taking into account the
energy consumption, the implementation cost and the energy
cost of the irrigation system compared to the benefits offered
by the system. As a result, a 20% improvement in production
performance was obtained, increase in the average weight of the
crop and adequate control of relative humidity, with an
automatic irrigation system with a low implementation and
energy cost. The proposed system provides an effective
mechanism to control irrigation in the cultivation modules and
promote the distribution of nutrients to it.
