The invention is a centralized server-based system containing a database with relevant information regarding features, parameters, and characteristics of a particular irrigation system, which utilizes proprietary irrigation software to control a plurality of field modules, at one or more remote locations, via a network bridge adapter. An irrigation system may comprise a single server, or multiple servers that may be configured so that control of the entire system is centralized, and control of one or multiple irrigation locations may be accomplished remotely by wirelessly accessing, monitoring and controlling a location's field module matrix.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for wirelessly monitoring and controlling an irrigation field comprising:creating a field module matrix by placement of a plurality of field modules within an irrigation area, the field module matrix dynamically reconfigurable to compensate for changes in the irrigation field;configuring a server for:receiving data pertaining to said irrigation area from said field modules,generating a control signal based on said data,sending said control signal to said field modules adapted to receive said control signal, andcontrolling a plurality of irrigation components coupled to said field modules based on said control signal; andenabling a wireless network adapter, communicatively coupled between the server and the irrigation field module matrix, adapted to route the data from the matrix to the server and route the control signal from the server to the matrix; andconfiguring said plurality of field modules for single-hop and multi-hop communication for receiving said control signal and sending said data.
