| dc.description.abstract | The UGA EASY Pan Sprinkler Irrigation Scheduler is introduced as a simple, yet effective, method of scheduling irrigations in humid area row crop production. The device uses a wash tub, a toilet bowl float unit, and a covering screen. The unit can respond to both evaporation (as related to crop water use) and precipitation. The EASY Pan can be read from a distance allowing irrigation management personnel to determine crop water status without exiting a field vehicle. Preliminary field tests in South Georgia on peanuts and cotton indicate reasonable effectiveness when compared to standard irrigation scheduling approaches. Additional data is required to fully verify the pan's effectiveness. The simple nature of the unit allows in-field tests by farmers or other persons for their crop, soil and climate conditions. | |
