The TexasET app calculates the water requirements for crops based upon the growth stage selected. It uses real-time weather data from stations on the TexasET Network (texasET.tamu.edu). Water requirements may be determined for one day or up to 14 days. Rainfall at the selected weather station is automatically included in the calculations, but can be modified if local amounts are different. Weekly reminders of irrigation recommendations may be set up.
