Irrigation scheduling technologies

Farmers and extension providers involved in Smarter Irrigation for Profit Phase 1 requested a simple resource that could assist them select the most appropriate irrigation scheduling tool for their needs. This document provides a summary of irrigation scheduling tools used by participants in the Smarter Irrigation for Profit project grouped on the basis of measuring:

2. Weather based crop water use
