Application to calculate the Analytical-Salt-Water (ANSWER) model. . By choosing a crop and soil type, the application will calculate the relative yield for any combination of irrigation water salinity and amount. Adding the relevant economic parameters (such as water price, different costs, etc.) the application can also calculate the expected profit.
