About
This app calculates precise crop water needs using the FAO-56 method, factoring in weather, crop type, and soil. It provides irrigation schedules, water balance tracking, and exportable reports for efficient farm management.
What's New in Mivo
1.1.0
October 30, 2026
Refined Mivo Evapotranspiration with clearer FAO-56 calculation breakdowns, improved crop growth-stage and root-zone water balance tracking.
FAQ
How does Mivo calculate crop water needs?
Mivo utilizes the FAO-56 method, specifically the Penman-Monteith equation, to calculate reference evapotranspiration. It then incorporates crop coefficients and soil data to determine daily water balance and predict when plants may experience stress.
What kind of weather data does Mivo use?
Mivo uses daily weather inputs such as temperatures, humidity, wind speed, and sunshine. It can also access preloaded monthly climate normals from stations on four continents.
Can Mivo be used for different crops and soils?
Yes, Mivo allows you to select a crop and soil type to build a specific crop coefficient curve and root-zone water balance. It also comes with sample gardens and the ability to add your own custom fields.
How does Mivo help with irrigation scheduling?
Mivo schedules irrigation based on a trigger depth you control, converting the required water into liters and runtime based on your actual flow rate. This ensures the number displayed is accurate for your tap.
Does Mivo require an internet connection to work?
No, Mivo is designed to work offline. It does not require an internet connection, accounts, or tracking, keeping your field data solely on your device.
Can I export my data from Mivo?
Yes, you can export a one-page season report as a PDF. Your field data is stored locally in a single JSON file that you can also export and keep.
What is the update frequency for Mivo?
The latest version, 1.1.0, was last updated on October 30, 2026. While specific update frequency isn't detailed, the app has seen recent updates.
Is Mivo suitable for beginners in farming?
Mivo is built on a professional FAO-56 methodology, but its transparent approach and sample gardens make it accessible for those learning about precise crop water management.
