Watering schedule service in Kenya

Prepare irrigation scheduling records from competent agronomic instructions.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional fourteen-day watering administration for two existing drip zones, twenty-eight scheduled zone checks. The grower's qualified adviser supplies zone run instructions and change authority. Deliver a dated schedule, completed/missed/interrupted log and exception messages; do not independently prescribe irrigation duration, litres, fertilizer injection or an “optimum” crop programme. Example outcome is twenty-four completed, two interrupted and two missed entries.

Who is the first customer?

Small growers needing consistent watering administration.

Test the offer

Offer a simple record system for one plot without prescribing water rates beyond your competence.
