Irrigation Scheduler Mobile review
A free water-balance scheduler for growers, without stated equipment control or automated scheduling.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Irrigation Scheduler Mobile is a free web-based tool from Washington State University for growers who want to plan irrigation using crop, soil and weather information. Users select a field, crop, soil texture and weather station; the tool estimates crop evapotranspiration and soil-water balance, then presents water status in charts and tables. It supports both mobile and desktop browsers, with mobile access through a mobile-compatible web application.
Its strongest fit is crop-soil water-balance scheduling rather than equipment operation. The tool can track irrigation events and water use, show rainfall and crop-water charts, and provide a one-week forecast of crop water use and soil-water status. Users can edit model parameters and correct estimates using soil-water measurements. AgWeatherNet and other agricultural weather networks are supported. Email or text notifications and CSV export add ways to follow and retain records, while the published feature set does not state remote control of irrigation equipment or automated scheduling.
The free offering makes it suitable for growers seeking water-balance guidance without a paid plan to evaluate. It is available on the web and described as open source; support channels include email and documentation. Choose it if your workflow centers on weather-informed estimates, field water records and adjusting recommendations with soil-water measurements. It is a weaker match for operations that need equipment control, automated irrigation execution, or a native mobile app. In those cases, a product explicitly offering control and automation would better match the requirement.
