| apple,25,60,6.0,7.0,35,32,Drip or overhead at 4-6 weeks intervals in season; deep watering beats frequent shallow |
| banana,40,70,5.5,7.0,38,35,Heavy water user - keep field near field capacity; daily drip 8-12 L/plant in dry season; mulch to reduce demand |
| blueberry,30,60,4.5,5.5,30,30,Shallow roots - consistent light watering; mulch with pine bark; avoid waterlogging (oxygen) |
| cauliflower,30,60,6.0,7.0,30,28,Cool crop - keep evenly moist; water stress causes loose curds; avoid overhead irrigation (bacterial disease) |
| cherry,25,55,6.0,7.0,32,30,3-4 deep waterings in dry season; reduce before harvest to prevent cracking |
| chilli,25,50,5.5,6.8,35,32,Drip at 2-3 L/plant/week; avoid waterlogging (root rot); mulch in dry months |
| coffee,30,60,5.0,6.5,30,30,Mulch heavily (20-30cm); drip 20-30 L/tree/week in dry season; never let it dry out completely |
| corn,30,60,5.8,7.0,35,33,Critical at tasseling-pollination and kernel fill; 25-40 mm per event or drip 4-6 L/m2/week |
| grape,25,50,6.0,7.0,40,38,Deficit irrigation mid-season limits vigor; avoid wet canopies (fungal diseases); drip on dry side |
| lemon,25,55,5.5,7.0,38,35,Deep watering every 2-3 weeks (more in fruiting); avoid chronic wet feet (phytophthora) |
| maize,30,60,5.8,7.0,35,33,Critical at tasseling and grain fill; split irrigation 20-30 mm; avoid water stress at silk stage |
| orange,25,55,5.5,7.0,38,35,Deep watering monthly (more in fruit load years); avoid constant wetness (root rot) |
| peach,25,55,6.0,7.0,35,32,3-4 irrigations in dry season; cut back before harvest (firm fruit, less cracking) |
| peanut,25,50,5.5,6.5,35,33,Critical at flowering-pod pegging and pod filling; 15-25 mm per event; drainage essential (waterlogging = pod loss) |
| pepper,25,55,5.8,6.8,35,32,Drip 3-5 L/plant/week; mulch; avoid overhead (bacterial leaf spot) |
| potato,15,50,5.0,6.5,33,30,Drip with mulch; critical at tuber bulking; avoid waterlogging (phytophthora) and late-season wetness (late blight) |
| radish,25,55,6.0,7.0,30,28,Short cycle - light frequent watering (1-2 cm/week); consistent moisture prevents cracking/bitterness |
| raspberry,30,60,5.5,6.5,30,28,Drip 10-15 L/m2/week in season; mulch; avoid wet canopies (botrytis) |
| rice,40,100,5.0,6.5,40,35,Flood management: 5-10 cm standing water vegetative; mid-term drainage 10-15 days; re-flood before heading |
| soybean,30,60,6.0,7.0,35,33,Critical at pod filling; 15-25 mm per event; drought tolerant early but sensitive late |
| squash,25,55,6.0,7.0,35,33,Drip at base (avoid wet leaves - powdery mildew); 3-4 L/m2/week |
| strawberry,30,60,5.5,6.5,30,28,Drip every 2-3 days in fruiting; mulch; keep soil consistently moist (berries quality) |
| tea,30,60,4.5,5.5,32,30,High rainfall area - drainage more important than irrigation; supplementary drip in dry months; mulch |
| tomato,20,55,5.8,6.8,35,32,Drip daily 3-5 L/plant; mulch; keep foliage dry (blight); stop 7-10 days before final harvest |
