For practical reasons, the most widely used indicators are soil water content and soil water potential. However, the spatial variability of the soil and irrigation depth gives rise to highly variable soil water content and/or potential data when these are..." I would hazard a guess and say sowing in succession, like lettuces when you don't want a glut. One of the other questions in the same overall question was to describe 'successional sowing' !
