Issues of water availability and quality are major concerns under the climatic change scenarios. For sustainable agriculture, improved irrigation techniques can play a crucial role in the conservation of water and increase crop production. This article delineates the necessity of irrigation scheduling based on sound scientific principles. To effectively manage irrigation and crop water requirements, all irrigation scheduling methods should focus on a soil-plant-atmosphere approach.
