WSU's Irrigation Scheduler Mobile:: Optimizing irrigation in Washington State

摘要

WITH THE RELEASE OF Irrigation Scheduler Mobile, irrigation just got easier for Washington homeowners and agricultural producers. An online tool developed by researchers at Washington State University, Irrigation Scheduler Mobile combines informationabout soil, crop type and weather to calculate the optimal amount of water to use. Irrigation Scheduler Mobile is an interactive website optimized for smart-phones and other mobile devices, although it works equally well on desktop computers. The systemuses data from AgWeatherNet—WSU's network of nearly 140 weather stations across the state of Washington—that collects data on local precipitation, temperature, humidity, sunshine and wind speed.
