Can range from general information about a broad region to very specific information about areas of a field
to
quantitative soil water budgets for individual fields at various levels of detail
Simple
Visual observations Measure current moisture status Maintain soil water budget of the root zone Automatic irrigations
Complex
AD = fdmax (TAW)
AD = management allowed deficit, (in. or mm)
MB = frmin (TAW)
MB = minimum balance (min. allowable available soil water), (in. or mm)
Irrigation Timing
Maximum irrigation interval, (days)
T max AD ETc
Actual irrigation interval, (days)
d e T ETc
de = effective depth of irrigation, (in. or mm)
Latest Date
AD SWD LD ETc( forecast )
LD = maximum number of days before irrigation should occur ETc(forecast) can be based on long-term averages or last few days
Earliest Date
ra dep SWD ED ETc( forecast )
ED = minimum number of days before irrigation should occur dep = planned effective depth of water ra = rainfall allowance (allow room in the profile beyond dep)
Earliest Date
SWD= soil water deficit ETc = crop evapotranspiration de = effective irrigation Pe = effective precipitation Uf = upward flow of water from a shallow water table
