3. Agriculture : A Complex System
Productivity is affected by variability in the following six groups:
• Yield variability
• Field variability
• Soil variability
• Crop variability
• Variability in anomalous factors
• Management variability
Precision Agriculture (PA) is to manage these variability

5. Knowledge Base
• Evapotranspiration Rate ET0 Calculation
• Hargreaves Equation is used (As it needs minimum parameter)
• Estimation of equation constants CH and EH for particular location is done
using fuzzy based method to improve the accuracy.
• Constants CH and EH values are found for the locations.
Solar radiation Ra is considered constant for the given
• location and converted in the unit mm/day.

6. Algorithm
Estimation of soil water deficit using water balance approach (Weather
based method)
Dc = Dp + ETC – P - Irr
Where,
Dp = Soil water deficit on the previous day in (mm)
Dc = Soil water deficit today in (mm)
ETc = Crop evapotranspiration rate for current day in (mm)
P = Gross precipitation (rainfall) for the current day in (mm)
Irr = Net irrigation amount for the current day in (mm)
