In drip coffee, lines and emitters need to follow the spacing, water distribution in the soil and the plant cycle. Implementation and adult farming require specific assessments of hydraulics and management.

## Climate, development and water availability.

Coffee tree evapotranspiration varies over time and depends on growing conditions. Studies of a cultivar and region do not establish an irrigation time for all coffee plantations. Planning combines crop information with soil and environmental data.

Farming and cycle

Cultivation, age, spacing and developmental stages help organize application region and schedule.

Soil and monitoring

Information on moisture and soil characteristics supports the decision on when to irrigate and how to monitor the application.

Infrastructure

Topography, water, energy and distance between sectors influence pumping, piping and operating routine.

## What to gather to talk about the project.

- Cultivar, age and area of the coffee plantation.
- Location, spacing and map of plots.
- Water source and pumping structure.
- Existing system and objective of the intervention.

You can start with the information you already know. The team organizes the data necessary for the evaluation with you.

## Agronomic management and hydraulic control work together.

Evaluate water application, pressure and emitters while monitoring the crop. Specific strategies for flowering require specific agronomic guidance; should not be turned into an automatic suspension of irrigation for any region or cultivar.

## Questions about irrigation for coffee.

**Is it possible to copy the schedule from another coffee plantation?**

Climate, cultivar, soil and crop stage may be different. The programming must be based on area data and agronomic monitoring.

**What information helps in the first assessment?**

Location, area, cultivar, age of the crop, water source and existing structure help organize the conversation about the project.

Information guides planning; the project and management are defined from the property.

## Let's plan irrigation in your area?

Tell the crop, municipality, approximate area and water source. Inform if you intend to implement, expand or modernize irrigation.
