Purpose: to demonstrate the possibilities and relevance of using the special tools of IT support, focused on their use as part of mobile computer tools and gadgets, for solving the problems of water use planning on an on-farm irrigation network.
Materials and methods. The methodology for solving the goal included: determining the water supply regimes for each irrigated field according to the planned irrigation regimes for agricultural crops, coordinating water supply schedules for irrigated fields with the technical and operational functionalities of the irrigated area, calculating the indicators of the water use plan in accordance with the specified requirements. As an object for which the calculations were performed, the project of one of the irrigated plots of Ipatovsky district of the Stavropol Territory was used. The basis of the used IT support tools was the authors’ development, implemented on the basis of widely available and popular software apps.
Results. Algorithmic and software support for computer applications that ensure operation as part of mobile IT tools has been developed. An example of the calculation of an on-farm water use plan for the initial irrigated area using the developed mobile IT applications is given, demonstrating the efficiency of their application.
Conclusions. The conducted studies have confirmed the relevance of the use of computer applications oriented for using as part of widely available and relatively inexpensive mobile IT tools. It is noted that due to the uniqueness of most reclamation facilities, these applications should provide for relatively simple and prompt adaptation to these facilities, as well as information compatibility with other IT support tools used in the production process.
