Every property and every irrigation situation is unique. However, there are standard features to consider when evaluating every situation to ensure your crops receive the right amount of supplemental water, at the right time, without over-irrigating and wasting valuable time, energy, and water. Some of these factors include...
- Size & Shape of Irrigated Parcel
- Geographic Location / Environment
- Crop
- Evapotranspiration (ET) Rate (combination of simultaneous evaporation and transpiration from a field)
- Soil Moisture Holding Capacity
- Land Topography
