The most important results obtained in the framework of the project are:
- the development of a practical DSS (prototype) for the irrigation management at farm level;
- the effective application of the DSS by end-users (farmers, technicians, consultants) for the irrigation management of several crops (fruit crops, wine and table grapes, vegetables, potato, etc.) under different pedo-climatic conditions, together with a site-specific calibration of models and sensors;
- an interesting experimental evaluation of the DSS for the planning and management of deficit irrigation strategies under limited water resources;
- the design and development of 'user-friendly' APP and WEB applications;
- an effective testing of remote control systems for hydrants and valves, as integrated in the DSS;
- a wide network of farmers, technicians and consultants, ready to support the setting-up of specific "Operational Groups" in the framework of incoming Rural Development Programmes 2014-2020, at both local and/or European scale, for the further development and effective adoption of the DSS at farm scale.
