Description
Track daily soil moisture levels using a water balance approach. Receive recommendations via text when soil moisture nears allowable depletion. Utilize weather data from nearby FAWN stations for precipitation and evapotranspiration.
The corn irrigation scheduling app will help Florida cron growers to optimize irrigation efficiency. The app uses a water balance approach to track daily available soil moisture and provides irrigation recommendations via text message when the available soil moisture reaches close to the management allowable depletion. The app uses weather data (precipitation and reference evpotranspiration) data from the nearest Florida Automated Weather Network (FAWN) weather station.
