Plan irrigation with precision using weather data and simple calculators.

This guide explains how to estimate plant water needs and schedule irrigation using real weather information. It covers theory, practical steps, and how to adapt the method to different calculator and computer systems.

The book blends irrigation science with practical programming. It shows how to calculate potential evapotranspiration, crop water use, and when to water based on field data and weather inputs. Readers will find a clear path from theory to on‑the‑ground scheduling.

How potential evapotranspiration (ET) is determined and used to build a water budget.
Steps to implement a scheduling program on programmable calculators and adapt it to other machines.
Key crops, crop coefficients, and how cover date affects water use.
Guidance on updating schedules using rainfall, depletion, and irrigation events.

Ideal for readers of practical agricultural engineering, irrigation management, and those using field-based scheduling tools.
