Zimmatic Controllers – The Only Control Panel Compatible with Fieldnet Control panels have always been used on pivot sprinklers. New smart control panels, however, are revolutionizing pivot irrigation. These devices reduce water consumption and lead to savings in time and labour. Zimmatic control panels have everything for the grower who is ready to take complete control of their ...

Precision viticulture tools with dynamic irrigation functionality thus provide valuable input into optimal irrigation decisions. Current best practice Current best practice for dynamic irrigation scheduling involves scheduling irrigation based on soil moisture sensor data, visual monitoring (e.g. observing symptoms of water ...
You can see the west side of the property is expected to split first, July 7, while the east side is forecast to split a week later on July 15. Irrigation challenges It’s essential to ensure your field is dried out enough to get spray rigs through without creating ruts or getting stuck. Having advanced notice of when your hulls will split will ensure you ...
On of our biggest projects till now has been planning and installing a system of 24 giant lysimeters in a cocoa research farm. ...
Both the operator and the client can observe the change in soil moisture on this platform, and adjust the irrigation plan as needed. What is LoRa? LoRa is a new way of communicating, where small amounts of data are sent via the LoRa network to a website page. ...
Water, one of the most crucial inputs of irrigation, should be utilized judiciously to identify appropriate strategies for planning and management of irrigated farmland. ...
Adequate knowledge of starting dates and lengths of dry spells has a considerable importance in rain-fed agriculture, irrigation planning, and various decision-making processes. The long dry spells incur heavy costs to the affected communities in the form of lost crop production and reduced crop yield, particularly in semi-arid regions. The sustainability of ...
The determination of irrigation demand is typically based on crop modelling using a long historic record of local daily weather data. ...
In the UK, there is a growing interest in constructing on-farm irrigation reservoirs, however deciding the optimum reservoir capacity is not simple. There are two distinct approaches to generating the future daily weather datasets needed to calculate future irrigation need. The change factor approach perturbs the observed record using monthly change factors derived from downscaled climate ...
Community participation, defined as engaging users of schemes in the decision-making processes for the planning and implementation of irrigation projects, is critical for the sustainability of irrigation schemes. This study was carried out in three regional states of Ethiopia to investigate the contribution of water user associations (WUAs) to ...
Since it takes 1,000 tons of water to produce 1 ton of grain, it is not surprising that 70 percent of world water use is devoted to irrigation. Thus, raising irrigation efficiency is central to raising water productivity overall.In surface water projects—that is, dams that deliver water to farmers through a network of canals—crop usage of ...
These results may be used for planning and management of irrigation for mangos grown in similar environmental ...
