Greenhouse Fertigation and Climate Control System

Integrated irrigation, fertigation and climate automation solution for modern greenhouses using the PKYDrip control platform.

Greenhouse Fertigation & Climate Control System

Modern greenhouse production requires accurate irrigation, stable fertigation, and reliable climate management.
The PKYDrip system integrates irrigation control, fertilizer dosing, sensor monitoring, and climate automation into one unified platform.

This solution is designed for medium and large greenhouses using soilless cultivation systems.

3 Drip Irrigation System

Drip irrigation ensures uniform water and nutrient distribution.

Dripper Specification

ItemValue
Dripper TypePCJ pressure compensated
Flow Rate2 L/h
Spacing0.25 m

Dripper Calculation

Calculation details ignored

Total irrigation flow ≈ 30 m³/h This determines the required pump capacity and irrigation scheduling strategy.


4 Fertigation System

The fertigation system uses an open tank mixing method.

Fertilizers are mixed in a tank before entering the irrigation pipeline.

Fertilizer Tanks

ItemValue
Quantity4 tanks
Capacity1000 L each
ChannelsA / B / C / D fertilizer

Dosing Channels

ChannelFlow Rate
Fertilizer A400 L/h
Fertilizer B400 L/h
Fertilizer C400 L/h
Fertilizer D400 L/h
Acid150 L/h

Each channel is equipped with

• electronic flow meters
• dosing control valves


5 EC and pH Monitoring

Precise nutrient management requires continuous monitoring.

Sensors installed:

SensorQuantity
EC sensors3
pH sensors2

Functions

• nutrient concentration monitoring
• automatic dosing adjustment
• fertigation ratio control


6 Climate Control System

The greenhouse is divided into two climate zones.

Each zone includes:

• temperature sensors
• humidity sensors

A weather station provides environmental reference data.

Weather Station Sensors

• wind speed
• wind direction
• solar radiation
• rainfall detection
• temperature
• humidity


7 Greenhouse Equipment Control

Each climate zone controls:

EquipmentFunction
Roof ventsventilation control
Circulation fansair circulation
Cooling fanstemperature reduction
Cooling pad pumpevaporative cooling
Shade screenssolar radiation control

This enables automated climate regulation.


8 Irrigation Control System

The irrigation network includes:

DeviceQuantity
Zone valves4
Master valve1
Main flow sensor1

The system monitors

• irrigation flow
• fertigation ratio
• irrigation schedules


9 Remote Monitoring

The PKYDrip platform enables remote access via:

• smartphone
• laptop
• local control panel

Functions include

• irrigation scheduling
• fertigation management
• climate monitoring
• alarm notification
• historical data logging


10 System Architecture

The greenhouse system integrates four major subsystems:

1️⃣ Irrigation system
2️⃣ Fertigation system
3️⃣ Climate control system
4️⃣ Monitoring platform

All modules are connected through the PKYDrip control platform.
