Product development process of a digital irrigameter: a water sizing proposal for sprinkler irrigation process in different cultures

This paper aimed to propose the development of a digital irrigimeter, in order assist water sizing, be used sprinkler irrigation process, different cultures. From realization market research, it was verified existence gap represented by individuals who have difficulty dimensioning water, irrigation. Thus, Hargreaves-Samani methodology, for calculations optimum amount precipitated, per square meter planted area, weighted crop coefficients and local soil. So, customer requirements, such as flexibility response speed were translated into technical characteristics final product. cost product is directly associated with level technology adopted each component
