The programming language used was Visual Basic within the Visual Studio platform. The interface was designed so that the user interacts with the software in a simple way. The program code was based on the classic irrigation management calculation procedure, but using single crop coefficients adjusted to the agro-meteorological conditions of Guyana, and estimating the physical properties of the soil according to texture, by mean a mathematical model recommended for use in the country. As a result, irrigation management parameters are obtained with greater precision to supply the water requirements of Guyana's agricultural crops.]]></p></abstract>
