Third Annual Report for The Period January 1, 2000-December 31, 2000: Agrometeorological Approach to Crop Water Use Evaluation for Improved Irrigation Efficiency
The purpose of the project was to develop a method for crop water use evaluation that would improve irrigation efficiency in the conditions of Kyrgyzstan and to transfer technology test in Israel for implementation in Kyrgyzstan. The project required the purchase of AMS sensors. a comparative analysis of irrigation scheduling methods in an apple orchard based on the lower limit of topsoil moisture content and on modeling using data obtained from the AMS concluded that the second method is more reliable and accurate.
