Against the background of climate change, which reduces water availability in many areas of the world, every year the global Agriculture, the world's largest user of the planet's water resources, spends a huge amount of water without achieving ptimal crop yields. Finding a universally applicable way to ensure the efficient use of irrigation water in agriculture is a real business need and its successful transformation into a fully functional automated decision support system is a technology that can lead to creation of a product, which will be a novelty for irrigation management. The article describes a comprehensive technology that allows scientific management of the state of irrigated crops for virtually any agricultural field that has been tested in long-term field trials and brought to the TRL6software prototype. The structure of the Decision Support System is presented and links between the individual partial mathematical models and their technological relationship with the databases used are shown.
