Irrigation Water Management
Irrigatators who use efficient irrigation technologies, products and services can increase crop production, save water and save energy.
What is irrigation water management? Irrigation water management applies science and technology to deliver the right amount of water to the crop at the right time. It’s often called Scientific Irrigation Scheduling.
When used properly, irrigation water management scheduling gives the irrigator information to make water management decisions about:
- When to irrigate.
- How much water to apply.
- Avoid crop moisture stress which can reduce yields.
Irrinet employs the latest irrigation technology including the Probe Schedule, a online decision support irrigation scheduling software tool.
Probe Schedule is a easy irrigation scheduling program that uses weather data, crop data, soil characteristics and actual soil moisture data to generate an accurate irrigation schedule and visualization tools to “see” what is happening below the soil surface.
You will have a secure login to monitor soil moisture and irrigation events. In addition, you receive weekly updates from Irrinet with recommendations to manage your soil moisture.
