Fin4Crops (DSS)
Description
Finapp has developed its own irrigation advice that provides the farm with data that is simple as important: when and how much to irrigate.
We evaluate field capacity and wilting point in a unique way, by analyzing soil moisture dynamics in order to determine the size of the “reservoir”, integrate data on crop type and phonological stage to understand irrigation needs on a day-to-day basis, evaluate the type of irrigation system and water availability in the case of shifts, and finally add weather forecasts for the following days so that we know evapotranspiration, wind, and expected rainfall. All of these aspects combine to create an artificial intelligence algorithm that can predict soil moisture values for the following days and, if they are too low, suggest date and amount of irrigation.
