Systems Providing Irrigation Optimization Using Sensor Networks and Soil Moisture Modeling

A method for providing irrigation water to a soil depth of a crop rootzone in a plurality of crop fields using a sensor network and soil moisture modeling, the method comprising:

• receiving data from a sensor network in a first crop field, comprising:
• receiving data from a soil moisture sensor in the first crop field;
• receiving data from a water added sensor in the first crop field;
• and
• receiving data from a meteorological elements sensor in the first crop field;
• determining a soil moisture model using data from the sensor network in the first field;
• determining a first field irrigation time using the soil moisture model, the first field irrigation time providing irrigation water to a soil depth of the crop rootzone above a Wilting Point (WP) and below a Field Capacity (FC) of soil in the first field;
• applying the soil moisture model to a second field;
• determining a second field irrigation time using the soil moisture model, the second field irrigation time providing irrigation water to a soil depth of the crop rootzone above a Wilting Point (WP) and below a Field Capacity (FC) of soil in the second field;
• providing irrigation water in the first field for the first field irrigation time to a soil depth of the crop rootzone above a Wilting Point (WP) and below a Field Capacity (FC) soil in the first field;
• and
• providing irrigation water in the second field for the second field irrigation time to a soil depth of the crop rootzone above a Wilting Point (WP) and below a Field Capacity (FC) of soil in the second field.
