Abstract
A method for the optimization of irrigation of an area by a plurality of successive adaptive irrigation cycles is disclosed. The method is implemented as a system including an irrigation water controller, a probe for sensing a wetting-front depth, a computerized irrigation cycler, and a computer program running on the cycler. For the first irrigation cycle, input parameters related to the soil and to the wetting front arrival are entered either by default or manually. Data collected during the first irrigation cycle is used for the adaptive optimization of the following irrigation cycles. The steps of the computer program and the wetting-front detection probe are described.
