Free mini-course
Stop guessing when to irrigate
This short course turns soil moisture into something you can read at a glance and act on with confidence. It is built on the same FAO science that guides irrigation worldwide — explained in plain language, with tools you can play with. Six lessons take you from "which sensor do I buy?" to "the app says water 18 mm today."

What you'll learn
Work through the lessons in order, or jump to the one you need. Each takes a few minutes and ends with a tool you can try yourself.
Choosing a sensor
What to measure, how deep, how many — and what you can ignore.
Installation & first data
Get sensors in the ground correctly and read your first numbers.
Calibration & soil
Why the same number means different things — and why calibration matters.
Plant Available Water
One simple 0–100% number, plus the FAO safe range.
Dynamic thresholds
How growth stage and weather move the safe line every day.
Irrigation decisions
Turn readings into action: when to water and exactly how much.

Every number in this course follows FAO Irrigation and Drainage Paper 56 — the global reference for crop water needs and irrigation scheduling. We link the exact equation behind each tool so you can check our work.
