Resumo: | ABSTRACT The use of new technologies to meet the demands of the agricultural market is increasing; however, technical information on application is scarce for some areas of knowledge, including irrigation management. The objective of this study is to evaluate an automatic irrigation system with capacitance sensors connected to a local wireless network for the semiautomatic management of irrigation in tomato crops compared with a manual control system based on time-domain reflectometry (TDR)-type sensors. The experiments were carried out in a protected environment, and the seedlings were transplanted following surface drip lines. The study adopted a completely randomized block design consisting of two treatments and 12 repetitions, totaling 24 subplots. The evaluated treatments were an irrigation management system with TDR sensors and a manually-programmed controller, and an irrigation management system with capacitance sensors and a semiautomatically-programmed controller connected to a digital assistant. Quantitative and qualitative parameters as well as the green and dry matter production were evaluated in each treatment. The results indicated that both sensors were effective in managing irrigation in tomato crops. Furthermore, both systems were accurate, and the Alexa® digital assistant was efficient in programming the GreenIQ® semiautomatic system by voice commands.
