Abstract
A genetic algorithm is defined to learn the irrigation cycle for the simulated water flow in cropped soils. It is shown that the genetic learning provides an appropriate method to defining irrigation on and irrigation off switching to maintain a desired moisture content at a predetermined depth in the soil.
