PROJECT INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

The overall objective of DigitalRiego is to optimize water use efficiency (WUE) on the plot by adopting agronomic strategies to optimize irrigation.

Impact

The expected end result is a new methodology for irrigation scheduling based on remote measurements of plant water status that can be used both for conditions of no water limitation (optimal irrigation) and when deficit irrigation has to be applied. In this second scenario, irrigation scheduling based on plant water status determinations will make it possible to control the water stress imposed and prevent a moderate deficit, potentially positive for some crops in terms of improving yield quality, from becoming too severe.
