IRRY: A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE WATER SUPPLY IN ORCHARDS |
| Authors: | A.J. Boshuizen, M.P. van der Maas |
| Abstract:
Several advisory systems are available for fertilisation in the Netherlands, but until recently, such support was not available for water supply of fruit trees. In 1990, Horti Bureau Wageningen/Bodata (HBW/B) and the Fruit Research Station in Wilhelminadorp (FPO-Wi) started to develop IRRY, a decision support system for water supply. Since 1994 six fruit growers in the province of Zeeland and the DLV, a large Dutch extension service, are involved. In 1998 a project has started in which 50 to 60 fruit growers will use IRRY. Within one or two years IRRY will be available to all Dutch fruit growers. | |
