Irrigation Scheduling Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Deciding when and how much to irrigate depends on soil moisture, crop stage, weather and water allocation, and guessing wastes water or stresses the crop. Each morning this agent reads soil moisture probes, the weather forecast and crop stage for each field, and estimates crop water use. It waters a field when moisture is forecast to fall below the target for that crop stage within two days and no rain is expected. Rain forecast within 24 hours delays watering unless soil is already below the stress level. It drafts a plan that fits pump capacity and never exceeds the water allocation. The farmer approves each plan. After each irrigation, it reads the probes again. If moisture did not reach the target zone, it adjusts run time or flags a possible blocked line. Edge case: a probe giving flat readings for two days is flagged as faulty.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It waters when moisture is forecast to fall below the target in two days and rain is not expected, within pump and allocation limits.

  • Rain within 24 hours delays watering
  • Crop stage sets the target
  • Allocation limits are never exceeded

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Target moisture by crop and stage
  • Rain delay rule
  • Pump capacity
  • Fields in scope

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Each irrigation plan

Hard limits

  • Never switches pumps on itself
  • Never exceeds the water allocation

It stops when

  • Done: field in target range
  • Stop: probe offline, ask the farmer to check the field

An example run

What happensOn July 18, field 4 corn at tasseling was forecast to drop below target in two days with no rain. The farmer approved a 6-hour run. The moisture check failed: the probe showed only the top 30 cm wetted. The agent flagged a possible blocked line, and the farmer found a clogged filter. After cleaning, a 4-hour rerun reached the target zone at 60 cm.
