Use of an Automatized System to Avoid the Deterioration of Soil in the Cultivation of Asparagus in the Mexicali Valley of the Baja California, Mexico

Abstract

An investigation was made to analyze an automatized system (AS) as electronic device to supports that soil utilized to the asparagus cultivation process, in an agricultural industry located in the Mexicali Valley, where is located in the northwest of the Mexican Republic. This automatized system avoids the occurrence of the deterioration of the soil for the presence of pH water low (acidic action), and the constantly se of the pesticides to avoid presence of pests. This automatic device as electronic component, have a specialized sensor, to detect when not exits moisture in the soil, and with this activate a relay as electro valve and connected to a water pump, to supply water to soil, and with this maintain the adequate moisture, and avoid the deterioration. A microanalysis using the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), of the soil deterioration process was made to detect when was begin this phenomena process, and invert this process to avoid the deterioration action in soil. This was relevant because with the use of the AS, was increased the productivity and quality of the asparagus in this agricultural industry evaluated. Also, was applied a mathematical algorithm to determine the optimal steps in the agricultural process from harvest action, inspection of asparagus, package activity and distribution of this important vegetable. This scientific study was made in 2022.
