Abstract
A system for multi-channel data acquisition and precision irrigation and fertilizer application control of crops involving the following steps: obtaining a soil moisture content and a plant status parameter for plants within each homogeneous area; calculating a required soil moisture content for plants within the homogeneous area based on a difference between the required soil moisture content for plants within the planting area and the soil moisture content for plants within the homogeneous area; obtaining types and quality of required fertilizers for plants within the homogeneous area based on the plant status parameter for plants within the homogeneous area; blending an irrigation water and fertilizer solution required by plants within the homogeneous area; and irrigating plants within each homogeneous area according to the irrigation water and fertilizer solution required by plants within the homogeneous area.
