UF/IFAS releases container irrigation tool app
Besides weather, daily irrigation demand is affected by plant production conditions in the irrigated area. For this tool, plant production conditions include container size, container spacing, plant size, percent plant cover, and irrigation application rate. The user can set default production conditions for trade 1 and 3 gallon containers so that irrigation run times can be quickly acquired for their particular situation.
Irrigation run time outputs are clearly displayed on the main page for a range of container spacing arrangements. On the main page, the user can override FAWN rainfall with rain recorded on-site to provide a more accurate irrigation recommendation.
