The application of new technologies to the control and automation of irrigation is becoming a very relevant issue in the last decade, due to a number of factors (McCarthy et al., 2011; Romero et al., 2012; Zapata et al., 2012). The \u2018HydroTech\u2019 project is developed in the Apulia Region (Italy) by a temporary association of local business companies (Sysman, DyrectaLab) and research institutions (IAM-B, ISPA-CNR), with the aim to further develop an integrated decision support system (HT-DSS) and to bring available modern technologies at the level of farm application. Among other objectives, the project aims to: i) test the applicability of HT-DSS at farm level, in relation to its effectiveness and reliability, fast and simply information transfer; ii) design \u2018simple and practical\u2019 user-friendly applications, by considering also the end-user feedbacks; iii) test the plugand-play on-field devices interconnected through a cloud network. A general description of the software and hardware architecture of the HT-DSS is here reported, while in a companion paper (Todorovic et al., 2013, this issue) the main algorithms and the on-going experimental activity at farm level are described.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>:\u00a0irrigation, decision support system, water management, wireless communication, automated control<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/CIGR-2013-Proceedings-II.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Leggi tutto<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract: In southern EU Member States, \u2018sustainable\u2019 water management in agriculture is a major issue and there is an increasing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[70,42],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=916"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2014,"href":"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916\/revisions\/2014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dyrecta.com\/lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
