Plants per row
one lateral run72
6 checks against the delivery math we run at home, with our own day-one numbers as the defaults. The recipe is the easy part. Delivery at scale is the discipline.
One lateral, head to tail. Drag the end cap to make the row longer or shorter, and tap the tube to change lateral size. The plants dim where the water stops arriving.
Set the system the way it is actually built and programmed, not the way the catalog described it.
Each check compares what the program says against what the hydraulics deliver. Green means the numbers agree, amber means they drift, red means your records are describing a different farm. Tap a check for the reasoning and what the gap costs.
The defaults above are not hypothetical.
The configured 10 gpm against a measured 85 is what we found on our own platform: every historical record read 8.5x low until we measured the real rate at the valve. And the model above reads about 85 percent tail delivery on these defaults, which is clean-pipe math. Our own 72-plant rows measured 68 percent, 9.0 gph delivered against 13.2 rated, because real pipe carries barbed fittings, age, and field geometry the formula never sees. That gap is why the configured-vs-measured check exists: bucket-test the valve, then trust what you measured over what you computed.
The check finds the gap. The walk closes it. Bring these numbers to the call and we will tell you which one is costing you the most.
