Engineering recommendations should never rely upon isolated measurements.
Identical soil moisture values may require completely different actions depending upon environmental context.
Factors influencing decision-making include:
- soil characteristics
- crop species
- root development stage
- recent irrigation history
- expected weather conditions
- seasonal trends
- historical behaviour of the installation
The Decision Support Engine evaluates these variables together before generating recommendations.
This contextual approach significantly improves engineering reliability compared with threshold-based irrigation strategies.
