Abstract
This paper presents an intelligent approach to integrated data collection and management system for irrigation and fertilisation of plants in agricultural production (specifically in apple plantations) applied to control and optimization of all parameters necessary for an adequate level of agricultural production. The approach tends to reduce investment costs, minimize power consumption and implement environmentally clean power production methods, as well as to apply proper treatment of chemical preparations in order to achieve economically viable integrated food production. Application of modern systems of complex sensor networks connected via mobile solar power generators as main node connection allows the collection of all data and parameters necessary for the continuity of integrated agricultural production. The mobile robotized solar power generator is also the executive device that manages complex hydraulic system for irrigation and fertilisation, treating the field with chemicals depending on available land, meteorological and environmental conditions.
