Why Agronomic Irrigation?

Agronomic Irrigation vs. Model-Based Estimation

Agronomic irrigation consists of accounting for the actual needs of plants as measured directly by a sensor. In contrast, other approaches rely on models that must estimate plant needs based on species, soil type, and evolving weather conditions—all of which are potential sources of error in evaluating a plant's water requirements.

Irrigation methods that do not utilize soil moisture probes cannot identify water applications that exceed the soil's retention capacity (which leads to percolation and water loss).

Agronomic irrigation is the most reliable method for managing green space irrigation with a dual objective: achieving maximum water savings without negatively affecting plant health.
