WORKSHOPS – Irrigation scheduling

August 13 & 14

Irrigation Scheduling is planning when and how much water to apply to a crop to achieve
maximum crop production or a particular crop quality.

The principles of scheduling water apply to all crops, however the critical timing, methods and techniques vary with the crop.

Scheduling is the key management action for achieving best irrigation performance. If you are not scheduling properly, you are not getting the best value from your irrigation.
