irrigation scheduling

Irrigation scheduling is the process of determining the best times and amounts to water crops or lawns to optimize health and resource use. It involves monitoring weather conditions, soil moisture levels, and plant needs to ensure plants receive adequate hydration without overwatering. Proper scheduling helps conserve water, reduces costs, and promotes healthy growth. Techniques can include manual observation, soil moisture sensors, or weather-based models to decide when and how much to irrigate, ensuring that plants receive just the right amount of water at the right time.
