Water deficit: find the thirsty block and water it back
ET₀ from the forecast, crop water demand and the deficit, every block side by side, an irrigation event sized to the gap, and the irrigator's text, answered with a tap.
Work area: Irrigation Management › Water balance and irrigation events. For: Growers and farm owners, Estate owners, Farm management companies, Crew supervisors.
Step by step
How thirsty the air is
The week ahead: temperature, rain, and ET₀, the water the air pulls out of the vineyard each day.
Done by: Carbonleap
What the vines used, and what they got
Crop water demand is ET₀ scaled by the crop and the rows. The deficit is rain and irrigation, less that demand.
Done by: Carbonleap
Every block, side by side
Deficit, the air's dryness (VPD) and days since the last irrigation, for every block at once.
Done by: Manager
Plan the water back
An irrigation event for the block that is furthest behind, sized to the deficit.
Done by: Manager
The irrigator gets it by text
A text with a link to the task, answered with a tap: acknowledged, in progress, completed.
Done by: Irrigator
Back in balance
The applied water lands in the balance: the deficit narrows to a quarter inch, as planned, and the clock resets.
