Author(s): Carlos J Martins, Maria L Fernandez and Ahmed S Al-Mansoori
Abstract: The integration of smart irrigation systems with humic acid is emerging as a promising approach to optimize agricultural productivity, particularly in citrus farming. This research explores the potential of utilizing electrical engineering techniques in smart irrigation systems to improve citrus yield by incorporating humic acid as a key factor in soil and water management. Humic acid, known for its ability to enhance soil structure, water retention, and nutrient uptake, can be effectively combined with smart irrigation technology to create a more efficient and sustainable agricultural system. By incorporating automated sensing and control mechanisms, such systems can optimize water usage, ensuring that citrus trees receive the ideal amount of irrigation, while simultaneously promoting soil health. This paper investigates the synergy between electrical engineering principles, such as sensor-based control, automation, and data analytics, with the agronomic benefits of humic acid, providing an innovative solution to address water scarcity and improve crop yield. Through a detailed review of recent developments in both smart irrigation technology and humic acid applications, the paper examines how these innovations can be used together to enhance citrus farming practices. Experimental data and theoretical models are analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this combined approach in optimizing water usage, improving soil quality, and boosting citrus yields. The findings underscore the importance of integrating advanced technologies and sustainable agricultural practices to create efficient, resilient, and high-yielding farming systems.
