Sažetak	Fertigation scheduling integrates irrigation and nutrient delivery to optimize plant nutrition while minimizing waste and environmental impact. By applying fertilizers through drip or sprinkler systems at precise times and rates matched to plant development stage and soil water availability, growers can improve nutrient use efficiency, reduce leaching, and boost yields. This method is now standard in commercial vegetable, orchard, and nursery production worldwide.	Phenological stage monitoring uses standardized growth scales to track the developmental progression of plants from dormancy through flowering, fruit development, and maturity. The BBCH scale, formalized in 1997, provides a universal coding system for precise communication of developmental timing. This method enables optimization of management practices (pruning, fertilizing, spraying) at physiologically optimal moments and prediction of harvest timing.
