ABSTRACT A system and method for scheduling irrigation of an agricultural area in which a crop is being grown, which is primarily based on the measurement of actual plant responses to soil water deficits for efficient and effective irrigation. The system and method are characterized by plural sensors for sensing a plurality of parameters related to the agricultural area, including crop canopy temperature, from which the water stress condition of the crop can be determined, and for generating sensor data respectively representative of the sensed parameters; an electronic device operatively connected to the sensors for controllably, receiving the sensor data from the sensors and deriving therefrom irrigation instructions depend- ent at least in part on a determination from such data of the actual water stress condition of the crop; and an output device operatively connected to the electronic device for outputting the irrigation instructions for con trolling irrigation of the agricultural area in accordance therewith. The system is embodied in a portable unit which greatly facilitates the collec- tion of data and provides immediate analysis of such data and instruction to irrigate when needed.
