Abstract:
An irrigation system for providing irrigation to a crop comprising a plurality of mobile support towers, a conduit, a plurality of drive motors, a plurality of sensors, and a control system. The conduit carries fluid and is supported by the mobile support towers. The conduit includes a valve which can be opened to allow fluid flow through the conduit and closed to prevent fluid flow through the conduit. The drive motors propel the mobile support towers. The sensors generate data regarding the amount of fluid used to irrigate the crop. The control system controls the operation of the valve and the drive motors and is configured to calculate a price of forecasted yield loss, calculate a cost of irrigation, and terminate irrigation if the cost of irrigation is greater than the price of the forecasted yield loss.

Claim (Index 18):
The control system of  claim 17 , wherein the processing element is further configured to\n calculate the per-day stress-adjusted crop water usage as a product of a crop coefficient, a crop stress coefficient, and a reference crop water usage, and calculate the per-day no-stress crop water usage as a product of the crop coefficient and the reference crop water usage, wherein the crop coefficient and the reference crop water usage are received from a data server and the value of the crop stress coefficient varies according to whether the crop is stressed or not.
