Irrigation Management

True ETc Measuring

Holo connects to soil moisture sensors and calculates crop coefficient (K) across variety, soil texture, growth phase, and wind speed to provide accurate evapotranspiration measurements.

ETc Modeling

Our advanced modeling system uses multiple factors to determine optimal irrigation needs:

• Kc from variety and growth phase (GDD, PAR)
• Target available water capacity (AWC) band from soil texture and growth phase
• Irrigation method, volume, rainfall, and wind speed
• Integration with planting schedules to ensure rotation viability

Automated Irrigation Tasks

Holo generates automated irrigation tasks that keep each planting within the optimal AWC band. The system recommends when and how long to irrigate, with manager approval workflows to ensure quality control.

• Automated task generation with manager approval
• Keeps each planting within optimal AWC band
• Recommends when and how long to irrigate
• Real-time updates based on weather and soil conditions

SGMA & GSP Compliance

Ensure compliance with Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) and Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSP) requirements:

• SGMA reporting and documentation
• Retroactive ETc-efficiency modeling for historic irrigation records
• Efficient input for hydrologists
• Benchmark against hydrologist findings
• Comprehensive compliance reporting

Benefits

By using Holo's irrigation management system, growers can improve water efficiency, reduce water waste, optimize irrigation timing, ensure compliance with water regulations, and integrate irrigation planning with overall crop scheduling for maximum operational efficiency.
