Optimizing Irrigation Schedules Using GIS in Agriculture
Can’t work out what to do about patches of soil that dry out faster than others? The paper and its solution, “Optimizing Irrigation Schedules Using GIS in Agriculture,” provide a solution. Consult MAPOG tools to observe and predict the amount of moisture in the soil then develop suitable irrigation strategies that appropriately water the plants and the soil cover. Optimizing Irrigation Schedules Challenge: Precision irrigation is an issue because farmers seldom obtain consistent soil moisture level especially when they are dealing with wide fertile lands reserved for farming. Solution: By applying MAPOG tools geometry for instance creating point data for soil moisture sensors and therefore generating grids, individual farmers can accurately depict distribution of soil moisture. This we do in order to come up with the irrigation schedule that will take less water in a respective area and at the same time increase the yields. Engagement Statement: Utilize the supe...
