Njengoba iminyaka yesomiso isiqala ukuba miningi kuneminyaka yemvula eningi eningizimu-mpumalanga engezansi, ukunisela sekuyinto edingekayo kakhulu kunokuba yinto yokunethezeka, okwenza abalimi bafune izindlela ezisebenza kahle zokunquma ukuthi kufanele banisele nini nokuthi kufanele basebenzise malini, njengokusebenzisa izinzwa zomswakama wenhlabathi.
Abacwaningi eStripling Irrigation Park eCamilla, eGa., bahlola zonke izici zokunisela, okuhlanganisa ukusetshenziswa kwezinzwa zomswakama wenhlabathi kanye ne-telemetry yomsakazo edingekayo ukuze kudluliselwe idatha kubalimi, kusho uCalvin Perry, umphathi wepaki.
“Ukunisela kukhule kakhulu eGeorgia eminyakeni yamuva nje,” kusho uPerry. “Manje sinezindawo zokunisela ezingaphezu kuka-13,000 esifundazweni, ezinamahektha angaphezu kuka-1,000,000 aniselwayo. Isilinganiso samanzi angaphansi komhlaba nemithombo yokunisela yamanzi angaphezulu sicishe sibe ngu-2:1.”
Unezela ukuthi ukugcwala kwama-pivot aphakathi kuseningizimu-ntshonalanga yeGeorgia, kanti ngaphezu kwengxenye yama-pivot aphakathi esifundazweni eLower Flint River Basin.
Imibuzo eyinhloko ebuzwayo ekuniseleni ithi, nginisela nini, futhi ngifaka malini? kusho uPerry. “Sinomuzwa wokuthi uma ukunisela kuhlelwa kangcono futhi kuhlelwe kahle, kungathuthukiswa. Kungenzeka ukuthi singakwazi ukonga ukunisela ngasekupheleni kwesizini uma amazinga omswakama enhlabathi elapho kudingeka khona, futhi mhlawumbe singonga lezo zindleko zokufaka.”
Kunezindlela eziningi ezahlukene zokuhlela ukunisela, usho kanje.
"Okokuqala, ungakwenza ngendlela yakudala ngokuphuma uye ensimini, ukhahlele inhlabathi, noma ubheke amaqabunga ezitshalweni. Noma, ungabikezela ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi ezitshalweni. Ungasebenzisa amathuluzi okuhlela ukuchelela enza izinqumo zokuchelela ngokusekelwe ekulinganisweni komswakama wenhlabathi."
Enye inketho
“Enye indlela iwukulandelela ngenkuthalo isimo somswakama wenhlabathi ngokusekelwe ezinzwa ezibekwe ensimini. Lolu lwazi lungadluliselwa kuwe noma luqoqwe ensimini,” kusho uPerry.
Uphawula ukuthi inhlabathi esifundeni sase-Southeast Coastal Plain ibonisa ukuguquguquka okukhulu, futhi abalimi abanalo uhlobo olulodwa lwenhlabathi emasimini abo. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, ukunisela okuphumelelayo kulezi nhlabathi kufezwa kangcono kusetshenziswa uhlobo oluthile lokuphathwa kwendawo ethile futhi mhlawumbe ngisho nokuzisebenzela ngokuzenzakalela kusetshenziswa izinzwa, usho kanje.
“Kunezindlela eziningana zokuthola idatha yomswakama womhlabathi kulezi zivivinyo. Indlela elula ukusebenzisa uhlobo oluthile lwe-telemetry. Abalimi bamatasa kakhulu, futhi abafuni ukuphuma baye emasimini abo ngamunye bayofunda inzwa yomswakama womhlabathi uma kungadingeki. Kunezindlela eziningana zokuthola le datha,” kusho uPerry.
Lezi zinzwa ngokwazo ziwela ezigabeni ezimbili eziyinhloko, izinzwa zomswakama womhlabathi ze-Watermark kanye nezinye zezinzwa zomswakama womhlabathi ezintsha, usho kanje.
Kunomkhiqizo omusha emakethe. Ngokuhlanganisa i-biology yezitshalo kanye nesayensi yezolimo, kungabonisa amazinga aphezulu okucindezeleka, izifo zezitshalo, isimo sempilo yezitshalo, kanye nezidingo zamanzi ezitshalo.
Lobu buchwepheshe busekelwe ku-patent ye-USDA eyaziwa ngokuthi i-BIOTIC (Biologically Identified Optimal Temperature Interactive Console). Ubuchwepheshe busebenzisa inzwa yokushisa ukuqapha izinga lokushisa lesitshalo sakho ukuze kutholakale ukucindezeleka kwamanzi.
Le sensor, ebekwe ensimini yomlimi, ithatha lokhu kufundwa bese idlulisela ulwazi esiteshini esiyisisekelo.
Kubikezela ukuthi uma isivuno sakho sichitha imizuzu eminingi kangaka ngaphezu kwezinga lokushisa eliphezulu, sibhekene nokucindezeleka komswakama. Uma unisela isivuno, izinga lokushisa lompheme lizokwehla. Bathuthukise ama-algorithms ezitshalweni eziningana.
Ithuluzi elisebenziseka kalula
"I-telemetry yomsakazo ngokuyisisekelo iwukuthola leyo datha kusuka endaweni ethile ensimini iye ekuthatheni kwakho emaphethelweni ensimu. Ngale ndlela, akudingeki ungene ensimini yakho ngekhompyutha ephathekayo, uyixhume ebhokisini, bese ulanda idatha. Ungathola idatha eqhubekayo. Noma, ungaba nomsakazo eduze kwezinzwa ensimini, mhlawumbe uwubeke phezulu kancane, bese uwuthumela emuva ehhovisi."
Epaki lokunisela eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeGeorgia, abacwaningi basebenza ku-Mesh Network, bebeka izinzwa ezingabizi kakhulu ensimini, kusho uPerry. Zixhumana zodwa bese zibuyela esiteshini sesisekelo emaphethelweni ensimu noma endaweni ephakathi nendawo.
Kukusiza ukuphendula imibuzo yokuthi kufanele unisele nini nokuthi kufanele unisele kangakanani. Uma ubheka idatha yesenzwa yomswakama wenhlabathi, ungabona ukwehla kwesimo somswakama wenhlabathi. Lokho kuzokunikeza umbono wokuthi sehle ngokushesha kangakanani futhi kukunikeze umbono wokuthi kufanele unisele ngokushesha kangakanani.
"Ukuze wazi ukuthi kufanele ufake malini, qaphela idatha, bese ubona ukuthi umswakama wenhlabathi uyanda yini ufike ekujuleni kwezimpande zezitshalo zakho ngaleso sikhathi."
