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 3):
The irrigation system of  claim 1 , wherein the processing element is further configured to\n calculate a per-day stress-adjusted crop water usage for a first time period of past days, calculate a total stress-adjusted crop water usage for the first time period of past days as a sum of each per-day stress-adjusted crop water usage, calculate a per-day no-stress crop water usage for the first time period of past days, calculate a total no-stress crop water usage for the first time period of past days as a sum of each per-day no-stress crop water usage, and calculate the yield loss to date as a crop specific yield response factor times a difference of 1 and a quotient of the total stress-adjusted crop water usage and the total no-stress crop water usage.
