Wateright Agricultural Tutorial

This tutorial will take you step by step through the process of using Wateright for agricultural irrigation purposes. Wateright has been designed with the California grower in mind, combining crop and soil information with irrigation systems. Using Wateright correctly should enhance the understanding of weather based irrigation scheduling and increase the potential for more efficient irrigation practices.

Wateright was never designed to replace field experience or common practices. It is meant to be another tool available to growers for assisting in the determination of irrigation frequency and amount. All schedules should be verified by measuring soil moisture levels and observing plant health.
