Precip Rate and Plant Factor are used only when irrigating based on ET.
Precip Rate - This is the amount of water a zone applies in inches per hour.
For example, a zone of fixed spray heads may apply the water at the rate of 2” per
hour while a rotary sprinkler zone may apply water at the rate of 0.50” per hour.
It is possible to determine a zone’s application rate by multiplying its gallons per
minute by 96.3 and dividing that figure by the square feet covered by the zone.
Plant Factor - Assign a percentage factor (0 - 255%) to any zone for the type
of plant material that the zone is irrigating. For instance, it is possible to assign a
bluegrass turf zone a factor of 100% and a ground cover zone that needs less water a
50% factor.
