If you have not yet created a water balance, you can do so by clicking on the water balance tile on your Home screen.

To manage your water balance:

Irrigation management

Add an irrigation

You can declare in the application that you have or will be irrigating. This will help you monitor your crop's Readily Available Water (RAW) and avoid unwanted hydric stress.

Classic irrigation

  2. Enter the date of your irrigation (in the past, present, or future)

  3. Enter the amount of water added during your irrigation

Your water balance will be updated immediately.

Using a drip system

If you are using a drip system to irrigate, you can add it by clicking on Add an irrigation and selecting Drip.

💡 Easily or hardly usable reserve?

The green zone 🟩 is the reserve that can be easily used by your crop, which means that it can extract water from the soil without reducing its transpiration activity.

The yellow zone 🟨 corresponds to the reserve that is difficult to use by your crop and can lead to hydric stress.
