1. Hybrid Fuzzy–pid Control for Variable-rate Center Pivot Irrigation: an Automation-driven Approach to Precision Water Management

Precision agriculture increasingly relies on advanced automation and intelligent control strategies to address the spatial and temporal variability of crop water requirements while minimizing resource consumption. Center pivot irrigation systems are widely deployed in large-scale farming operations; however, their conventional control architectures are typically based on fixed schedules or linear feedback laws, which are insufficient to handle the nonlinear dynamics, uncertainties, and disturbances...
