Description
The Smart Agro – Irrigation Recommendations website is a free platform developed by the Cabildo de La Palma as part of the La Palma Smart Island project. It aims to improve the efficiency of water use in local agriculture, especially for banana and avocado crops.
To get a personalized recommendation, the user must select a crop and an area of the island through a drop-down menu or on the map. Instead, the app:
- It provides detailed graphs showing the recent evolution of precipitation and evapotranspiration (ETo) over the past 7 days in the selected area.
- It generates irrigation recommendations adjusted to the municipality and local climatic conditions.
To carry out the calculations, data from the island's network of weather and air quality stations are used, together with a calculation engine that processes the information to generate weekly recommendations. Likewise, the data generated by this engine is integrated into the open data portal, promoting an open innovation ecosystem that feeds back on each other.
