Dose et fréquence d’arrosage. [...] Elle s’exprime en nombre d’arrosages pendant une période déterminée qui est en général le mois ou la campagne d’irrigation, mais parfois le jour pour certains procédés de micro-irrigation ou d’arrosage de cultures en conteneurs (à très faible réserve hydrique) ou encore d’aspersion climatisante (brumisation). On peut aussi l’exprimer par la période de temps séparant deux arrosages successifs, par exemple : un arrosage tous les dix jours. Dose et fréquence sont des paramètres inversement proportionnels; leur produit représente la quantité totale d’eau apportée par l’irrigation pendant la période de temps considérée. Cette quantité correspond en principe au besoin en eau d’irrigation de la culture pendant cette période. 1, record 1, French, - fr%C3%A9quence%20d%26rsquo%3Barrosage

Divide the amount of water needed per week by the watering time to determine the number of waterings weekly. For example, a closely spaced vegetable garden in medium soil needs to be watered for 2 hours at each watering, and with warm weather the garden needs 6 hours of water each week. Divide six by two and the answer is three waterings per week. The formula makes it easier to figure weekly waterings. 1, record 3, English, - watering%20time
