DESCRIPTION

The objective of this agricultural practice is to provide the farmer with a series of agronomic, technical and economic recommendations that allow the correct use of resources to make their management more efficient.

To do that, the implementation of this practice involves the use of public and private advisory systems to irrigators helping farmers and technicians to better meet the needs of their farms, making it possible to apply water in a timely way and correct amount and, consequently, saving water and energy resources.

BENEFITS

The implementation of these recommendations has a beneficial effect on adaptation to climate change, given that, with a more efficient management of resources, decreased water consumption with regards to irrigation is achieved. This is essential to make more sustainable agricultural systems and adapt them to future restrictions. Moreover, reducing the volume of irrigation also contributes to the mitigation of climate change, as it means less energy consumption is required for application on the plot.
