Irrigation scheduling

Irrigation scheduling is the process used by irrigation system managers to determine the correct frequency and duration of watering. The goal is to apply enough water to fully wet the plant's root zone while minimizing overwatering and ensuring high water use efficiency (WUE).

Modern scheduling has evolved from simple calendar-based timers to "smart" systems that adapt dynamically to weather conditions and soil moisture levels.
