Abstract

The need to constantly monitor over-irrigation was one of the many challenges farmers confronted in their daily farming activities. Frequently, the farmer must travel a considerable distance to access their fields and irrigation pumps. This study further developed the feedback mechanism and program of the Central Luzon State University -Automated Furrow Irrigation System (CLSU-AFIS). The performance of the sensor-based furrow irrigation system (SBFIS) was determined in this study through the growth and yield of the sunflower. The study considered four treatments which were sensor-based furrow irrigation system with mulch (T1), sensor-based furrow irrigation system without mulch (T2), conventional furrow irrigation system with mulch (T3), and conventional furrow irrigation system without mulch (T4). The CLSU sunflower variety named CLSF-1 was used in this study. Results showed a significant difference between sensor-based and conventional furrow irrigation. Growth and yield parameters of the sunflower in a sensor-based furrow irrigation system with mulch obtained the highest value with average plant height of 74.14 cm, leaf number of 22.82, sunflower head weight of 184.87 g, sunflower head diameter of 17.23 cm, and yield of 80.14 kg. Mulch also reduced the irrigation frequency.
