What is Irrigation Automation?

Irrigation Automation is the process of irrigation with automatic systems. In an automation irrigation system, the operation of the system requires minimal manual intervention. Every step in the process of irrigation can be solved automatically with the help of the Irrigation Automation. It is very useful for irrigation systems such as drip, sprinkler, and surface. With the help of irrigation automation labor work is reduced tremendously which can help to reduce the cost of irrigation maintenance. Irrigation automation system is also widely used in agriculture sector as it is very helpful in conserving water and does not lead to any water wastage in the process of irrigation. It needs the integration of hardware components such as controllers, sprinklers, sensors, valves, and other components to build it properly for agricultural and non-agricultural utilization.

Nowadays, the automated irrigation system comes with a sensor network using IoT and Remote Sensing technology for the environmental parameters in an agriculture field. Mobile phones, radio satellites, sensors, microcontrollers, and internet-based communication can capture and monitor ecological parameters such as temperature, soil moisture, light intensity, and humidity. The information is directly transferred from sensors to the cloud server by using IoT technology. The development of sensor-based applications in the modern agriculture industry makes it productive, cost-effective and increases its efficiency through precision agriculture farming.The government is taking initiatives to reduce the wastage of water and the use of irrigation system for agriculture and non-agriculture use which is needed to save water boosting the Australia irrigation automation market. Irrigation automation system helps to solve this problem and becomes a great help for vast land irrigation. Increasing advancements in technology are developing the components which will grow the automation of irrigation systems in the market.

Australia Irrigation Automation Market Overview

Growing demand for the irrigation automation system in the agriculture industry driving the Australian irrigation automation market in 2019 and it will show positive growth during the forecast period. According to The National Program for Sustainable Irrigation (NPSI), the agriculture sector in Australia consumes around 50-70% of water per annum and that irrigation uses 90% of that. The regulations and licenses controlled the majority of irrigated water use in this country. According to New South Wales Irrigators Council, In Australia, irrigation produces around 30% of the agriculture production of various products. The agriculture industry requires high accuracy in processes to optimize the output and quality of the crops and the reduced production cost. Automation irrigation has the ability to meet those requirements.

Agricultural activities are adopting mechanization and the new smart technologies for various purposes to reduce the labor cost and finish the work in less time with effective results. This requirement can be fulfilled by irrigation automation system which will increase its demand during the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing government initiatives in agrarian nations which will attract the adoption of the irrigation automation Market in coming years. The growing adoption of the irrigation automation as per its water-saving property will fuel the market growth significantly over the forecast period. In addition to this, growing awareness of the benefits related to the Irrigation Automation Market and technological advancements in the field will create growth opportunities widely in coming years.

However, the high expense of the irrigation automation system is expected to act as a restraint for the growth of the Australian Irrigation Automation Market over the forecast period.

Australia Irrigation Automation MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Australia Irrigation Automation Market is segmented on the basis of Irrigation Type, Automation Type, End User, Agricultural, Non-Agricultural.

Australia Irrigation Automation Market by Irrigation Type

• Surface Irrigation
• Sprinkler Irrigation
• Drip Irrigation

To Get Summarized Market Report By Irrigation Type-

Based on Irrigation Type, Surface Irrigation accounted for the largest market share during the forecast period. Surface irrigation is the type of application of water by gravity flow to the surface of the field. Either the water is fed into small channels to land or the entire field is flooded in this system. From many years, people are using this irrigation process. Surface Irrigation process is also considered as flood irrigation for the reason that of abandoned water distribution. Surface irrigation can be the best irrigation process to water the plants if it applied properly. Furrows and basin irrigation are two types of surface irrigation. Basins are flat areas of land which is surrounded by low bunds. The bunds help to stop the water from flowing to the in-line fields.
