The partners met at the science park of the Universitat Politècnica de València from 20 to 24 January 2014 to review the first full year of field tests and decide which features to add to the system next.
The figures discussed most came from a simulation on a cotton farm in northern Greece. The project's optimisation algorithms scheduled irrigation to reach the yield the farmer was aiming for, using:
- about 55% of the water normally allocated to the crop in rainy years;
- about 85% in dry years.
The partners said clearly that these were early, simulated results.
Participants also visited two pilot sites near Valencia: citrus orchards in Picassent and vineyards in Cheste. See also the meeting page.
