Smart Greenhouse İrrigation Systems
In today’s agriculture, the use of technology to provide efficiency and water saving is increasing. Smart greenhouse irrigation systems, together with this developing technology, offer innovative solutions that aim to meet the water needs of plants in the most efficient way. Equipped with sensors, weather data, humidity measurement devices and automatic control systems, these systems monitor and optimize the irrigation process in real time. Thanks to smart irrigation technologies, water resources are used more effectively, energy is saved and the growth conditions of plants in the greenhouse are managed more precisely. These systems stand out as an important step for sustainable agricultural practices and high-efficiency production. In this article, we will talk about the systems we have developed as esular and the solutions we offer in the agricultural fields with our technological infrastructure.
Greenhouse Irrigation Methods
Different irrigation methods used to meet the water needs of plants in greenhouses in the most efficient way ensure that water is managed effectively. Irrigation systems commonly used in greenhouses are as follows:
- Strainer Bucket and Hose Irrigation
This method, used in small-scale irrigation needs, home gardens and greenhouses, allows water to be sprayed and delivered to the plants. - Surface Irrigation System
Water is distributed by controlling it over the soil surface. It includes two basic methods: pan irrigation and furrow irrigation: - Sprinkler Irrigation System
Water is sprayed and delivered to the plants by means of sprinkler heads. It has two main methods: overhead sprinkler and soil surface sprinkler. - Drip Irrigation System
Water is delivered directly to the roots of the plants through drippers with low pressure. This method saves water and meets the water needs of the plants precisely. - Perforated Pipe Irrigation System
Water is delivered to the plants in small jets with the effect of pressure through holes opened in polyethylene pipes. - Underground Irrigation System (Infiltration Irrigation)
Water is supplied directly to the root area of the plants by supplying water underground through perforated pipes. This method prevents water evaporation and keeps the moisture level of the soil constant. - Sand Culture Irrigation System
In this system, which is frequently used in flower cultivation, water is transmitted to the plants from the sand layer using the principle of capillarity. - Capillary Irrigation System
Water is transmitted to the pots through capillary pipes under low pressure. This system ensures that water reaches the plants effectively and precisely.

Transforming Agriculture with Smart Irrigation
Today’s agricultural sector is rapidly becoming digitalized to increase efficiency and use resources more sustainably. One of the most important elements of this transformation is smart irrigation systems. In this period when traditional irrigation methods are inadequate and water resources are rapidly depleting, smart irrigation technologies are providing a significant transformation in agriculture.
As esular, the digital solutions we offer for the greenhouse and agricultural sector accelerate this transformation and shape the agriculture of the future.
Water Management in Agriculture
Smart irrigation systems not only ensure that water is given in the right amount and at the right time; they also optimize irrigation processes and take efficiency in agriculture to higher levels. These systems analyze many factors such as sensors, weather data and soil moisture measurements and determine the water needs of the plants in the most accurate way. In this way, water waste is prevented, and the water needed by each plant is provided at the right time and in the right amount.
Smart Greenhouses with esular
Sustainability in agriculture is possible with the right technologies. esular offers comprehensive digital solutions that increase efficiency and reduce operational costs at every stage for greenhouse gardeners. With the technologies we have developed for smart greenhouses, you can monitor the greenhouse environment at any time, make the necessary adjustments remotely, and even detect potential problems before they occur. Here are the smart greenhouse solutions offered by esular:
1. Remote Humidity and Temperature Monitoring
In greenhouses, correct humidity and temperature levels are very important for the healthy growth of plants. esular sensors monitor humidity and temperature values in real time, and this data can be monitored remotely. In this way, if the temperature or humidity level falls outside of ideal, immediate intervention can be made. This ensures that your plants always grow in the most suitable conditions.
2. CO2 Monitoring and Optimization
In greenhouses, plants need carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to photosynthesize. esular co2 sensor continuously monitors CO2 levels in the greenhouse environment and allows air exchange according to the needs of the plants with this data.
3. Remote Window and Ventilation Control
Regulating the air in the greenhouse environment is vital for healthy plant growth. With esular, we provide the ability to remotely control window opening and ventilation systems according to temperature and humidity levels. When needed, you can improve the air flow inside the greenhouse by opening and closing the ventilation system. In this way, you can both optimize energy consumption and ensure that plants grow in a healthier environment.
4. Remote Pump and Valve Control
For irrigation and fertilization systems to work properly, water must be given at the right pressure and in the right amount. esular provides remote control of pump and valve systems. Thanks to this feature, irrigation and fertilization processes are always done at the right time and in the right amount.
5. Remote Fertilization and Irrigation Systems
With the automatic liquid fertilization system, it offers remote fertilization and irrigation to meet the water and nutrient needs of plants correctly. This system constantly monitors soil moisture and plant needs, and automatically adjusts irrigation and fertilization programs according to this data. In this way, water waste is prevented and the nutrients required for the healthy development of plants are properly supplied.
6. Pressure Monitoring and Loss-Leakage Detection
Any pressure loss that may occur in irrigation systems can lead to water waste. esular detects any loss or leakage in the system with pressure sensors. Early detection allows intervention before problems occur.
7. Early Intervention and Incident Detection
The sensors and digital infrastructure offered by Esular offer not only daily monitoring but also early intervention opportunities. When any malfunction or system error occurs, the user is instantly notified. Thus, problems are detected and resolved before they grow.
