Geisenheim Irrigation Scheduling 2014

Geisenheim Irrigation Scheduling 2014
- using the original PENMAN-equation The "Geisenheim Irrigation Scheduling" involves the following four steps:
1. Saturating the soil with water
To start the calculation of the water balance, the soil should be moistened to field capacity.
2. Amount of water to be distributed at each irrigation time
The amount of irrigation water applied has to be high enough to assure moistening the
whole root zone. The amount of water available to the plant depends on soil characteristics, the kind of vegetable
and its actual rooting

Example:

Cauliflower sandy soil
3. Calculating the daily balance = (transpirationPENMAN x kc) - precipitation
The crop coefficient (kc)
depends on the kind of
vegetable and its stage of
development. The PENMAN
transpiration is available
e. g. from the German
Weather Service.

4. Calculating the balance sum
The daily balances are
added until the available
water for the vegetable is
reached (e. g. 24/7). The
amount of irrigation applied is subtracted from
the balance sum and the
balancing is continued (e.
g. 25/7). If the precipitation
is greater than the balance
sum, the balance is reduced to zero (e. g. 27/7).
