Droptima

Droptima is an irrigation planning tool that calculates daily water needs for your crops automatically, combining weather data with field-specific inputs to give a precise recommendation each morning. The app downloads current conditions such as temperature, wind and sunshine, and lets you add rainfall, sowing dates and irrigation system parameters so the calculation reflects your farm setup. With optional tensiometer readings included, Droptima provides even more accurate suggestions, which helps growers avoid over- or under-watering, especially when soil condition can’t be judged visually like with mulch film or underground drip systems.
