The system (100) may be used for managing soilless cultivations in a smart way and comprises at least: a basin (110) configured to carry plants (115), placed in particular in pots (112) or on a slab (113), and plant substrate (116), contained in particular in the pots (112) or the slab (113), and to collect any drainage solution (114), in particular from the pots (112) or the slab (113), a base (120) configured to support the basin (110), at least one weight sensor (130A, 130B) configured to detect weight of the basin (110) with plants (115), substrate (116) and any drainage solution (114), a temperature sensor (142) configured to measure air temperature above the basin (110), a humidity sensor (144) configured to measure air humidity above the basin (110), a radiation sensor (146) configured to measure global radiation above the basin (110), possibly a wind sensor (148) configured to measure wind speed above the basin (110), a drainage valve (170) configured to discharge drainage solution (114) from the basin (110), possibly an irrigation valve (180) configured to irrigate the plants (115) in the basin (110), and a controller (190), comprising in particular an loT device; the controller (190) is coupled to the sensors as well as to the drainage valve (170) and the irrigation valve (180), and is configured to control the valves based on data from the sensor. Such system is able to calculate automatically the current values of several important agronomic parameters as well as to predict for example crop biomass, crop evapotranspiration, crop growth and crop coefficient through one or more Dynamic Bayesian Networks as well as to measure pH and EC of the drainage solution, which is important for optimizing the fertigation in the soilless systems.
