Short Summary

This study compares actual irrigation regimes of lucern with calculated regimes based on weather data using a computer model, demonstrating a reasonable correlation between the two. The findings led to the development of a program for predicting weekly irrigation requirements.

Objective

• Investigate the accuracy of computer-based irrigation regime calculations compared to actual soil moisture measurements

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Southern Moravia region (18 specific locations)
• Temporal Scale: 10-year period (evaluation of results)

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Computer model for calculating irrigation regimes based on weather data
• Data sources: Soil moisture measurements, weather data

Main Results

• Reasonable correlation found between actual and calculated irrigation regimes using appropriate parameters
• Program developed to predict weekly irrigation requirements for lucern and other crops in southern Moravia

Contributions

• Development of a practical tool for predicting irrigation needs based on weather data
• Improvement in irrigation management through more accurate water allocation decisions

Funding

• Not specified
