PEI multi-crop irrigation report

Kinkora

Multi-crop mirror of the irrigation dashboard for Kinkora. Reference ETo stays automatic, then crop choice changes Kc, stage timing, ETc, and the water-balance view.

Default crop: Potato

Automatic ETo: Hargreaves

GDD since planting

Set planting date

Uses the crop-specific heat-unit method for the selected crop from planting date through the latest source day.

Crop setup

Select the crop assumptions that should sit downstream of the existing automatic ETo method. Potato matches the current dashboard by default.

Advanced crop editing

Edit these template defaults when a field needs different stage names, Kc values, durations, rooting depth, or explanatory notes. These remain browser-side planning edits until you save a preset.

Stage Kc default Duration (days)
Weekly water balance

Weekly rain and irrigation compared with crop water use, recalculated from the selected crop template after the automatic ETo method has already been chosen.

Weekly summary table

Use this table to compare weekly rainfall and irrigation against the active crop template. Growth stage and irrigation remain editable week by week.

Saved field and crop presets

How to use this report

The automatic reference ETo logic is unchanged here: FAO-56 Penman–Monteith runs when enough weather inputs exist, and corrected Hargreaves fills the gaps when those inputs are incomplete.

Crop selection is downstream of ETo. It changes crop-stage assumptions, default Kc values, optional stage durations, and the ETc and water-balance interpretation shown on this page.

The default crop templates are editable planning defaults, not locally validated PEI recommendations. Refine them as field knowledge improves.

  • Penman-Monteith uses station solar radiation, humidity, wind, and a PEI latitude/elevation fallback when a station-specific location is not configured.
  • Sensor model field capacity is estimated from the wetter plateau weeks in the station record, currently about 23.7% VWC.
