Irrigation criteria are the indicators used to determine the need for irrigation.
The most common irrigation criteria are:o Soil moisture contento Soil moisture tension
Irrigation scheduler helps:
To determine the exact amount of water to apply to the field. Determines exact timing (irrigation need)

It is the practice of growing plants without soil.
Plants can be grown in plain nutrient solution or in sterile substrates.
Water saving technology. No weeds to deal with.
