Important

This hesaplayıcı gives a starting puan for irrigation volume and runtime. Actual needs vary with canopy, root zone, drainage, irrigation method, heat, wind, and sun. Check long runs in the field.

Orchard Irrigation Runtime Hesaplayıcı

Q: "Can I use it without a target water amount?"

"Yes. Leave target water blank and the hesaplayıcı uses the reference midpuan built from tree age, spacing, and soil."

Q: "Does tree spacing mean row spacing?"

"In this hesaplayıcı, tree spacing means the distance to the next tree in the same row. It does not calculate row spacing area."

Q: "Does it use weather data or ET?"

"No. It is designed to stay practical by using only tree structure and dripper flow."

Q: "Can I switch between metric and US units?"

"Yes. You can switch between m / ft, L / gal, and L/h / gal/h."

Build a reference per-tree water amount from tree age, spacing, and soil, then calculate one irrigation runtime from dripper flow and count.

Because the model does not depend on local weather data, the same kayıtic works in any region.

Calculate irrigation volume and runtime

Even when target water is blank, you can tahmin runtime from the reference midpuan.
Enter a target water amount to recalculate runtime from that exact value.

How to use

Enter tree age, spacing, soil tür, dripper flow, and dripper count.
Review the reference range and enter a target water amount if needed. Leave it blank to use the reference midpuan.
Check the runtime, per-dripper water, and total flow.

Examples

Use a manual target water amount for a 5-year orchard tree

Girdi 5 years old, 4.0 m spacing, loam soil, 24 L/tree target water, 2.0 L/h dripper flow, 4 emitters

Çıktı Reference water 22 - 33 L/tree, runtime 3h00m, per-dripper water 6.0 L

Leave target water blank to use the reference midpuan

Girdi 12 years old, 18 ft spacing, clay soil, target blank, 0.5 gal/h dripper flow, 6 emitters

Çıktı The reference midpuan is used automatically, runtime 5h54m, within the reference range

Glossary

Tree age

Years since planting. It anchors the reference curve.

Tree spacing

Distance to the next tree in the same row.

Soil tür

A basit way to express water retention and drainage differences.

Dripper

One emitter outlet with a known flow ücret.

Reference water

The starting water amount built from age, spacing, and soil.

Runtime

The time you run the irrigation line for one watering event.

Formulas

Reference midpuan = age-based water × spacing factor × soil factor
Reference range = midpuan × 0.8 to 1.2
Total flow = dripper flow × count
Runtime = target water ÷ total flow
Per-dripper water = target water ÷ dripper count

How the reference water is built

Start from tree age, then nudge it with spacing and soil. No weather data required.

Age anchors

Age	Base water	Reference spacing
0	3 L/tree	2.0 m
1	6 L/tree	2.2 m
3	15 L/tree	3.0 m
6	30 L/tree	4.0 m
10	50 L/tree	5.0 m
15	75 L/tree	6.0 m

Adjustment factors

Group	Condition	Factor
Soil	Sandy soil	0.90
Soil	Loam	1.00
Soil	Clay soil	1.10
Spacing	Below 85% of reference	0.85
Spacing	On the reference curve	1.00
Spacing	Above 120% of reference	1.20

The spacing factor is clamped to 0.85-1.20, and the tool warns when the value drifts outside the reference curve.

How to read soil tür

Sandy soil usually works better with shorter runs and more frequent cycles.
Loam is the baseline for this hesaplayıcı, so the midpuan is easiest to read there.
Clay soil can pond easily, so watch infiltration and avoid overfilling.

How to keep it region-neutral

The model does not use weather data, so the same kayıtic can be used across regions.
If canopy, pruning, root zone, or drainage differ a lot, fine-tune the target water with field observation.
Start from the structure, then tune it in the field. That keeps the iş akışı basit.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use it without a target water amount?

Yes. Leave target water blank and the hesaplayıcı uses the reference midpuan built from tree age, spacing, and soil.

Does tree spacing mean row spacing?

In this hesaplayıcı, tree spacing means the distance to the next tree in the same row. It does not calculate row spacing area.

Does it use weather data or ET?

No. It is designed to stay practical by using only tree structure and dripper flow.

Can I switch between metric and US units?

Yes. You can switch between m / ft, L / gal, and L/h / gal/h.

Notice

This result is a guide. Canopy, pruning, root zone, drainage, heat, wind, sun, and irrigation method all change the en iyi value.
In sandy soil, shorter runs and more frequent cycles are often safer. In clay, watch for ponding and slow infiltration.
If a manual target water amount sits far outside the reference range, check tree age and spacing again.
