Recommendations
• Set zone runtimes that will apply ½ inch of water during each watering cycle.
• Get the historical ET deficit data for your region. Consult with your local Agricultural
Cooperative Extension office – you can find a national register of the extension offices at:
http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/
• Split each month of the year in half and determine how frequently you will need to water in
order to replace, but not exceed, the amount of moisture used by your plant material since
the last irrigation event. Use the ET deficit data to determine the watering frequency.
