Key take aways – flow rates

  • The flow rate is the amount of water the system is applying to your crop. A variation of flow rate is a direct change to the amount of water that is being applied to your crop.

  • Flow rate changes can be gradual or sudden. Both are serious. Any problem with flow should be addressed immediately to avoid crop damage.

  • Log (document) flow rate measurements often so that you can identify changes. These measurements are normally logged automatically with your controller.
