For decades, irrigation was a guessing game. We set mechanical timers to run for twenty minutes at dawn and hoped for the best, which often resulted in water running down the gutter on rainy days or parched turf during a heatwave.

ET is the combination of water lost through soil evaporation and plant transpiration. It is the scientific foundation of modern irrigation scheduling, helping […]
