Real-time adaptive control of furrow irrigation: preliminary results of cotton field trial.
In: Irrigation Australia Conference (IAL 2012) , 24-29 Jun 2012, Adelaide, Australia.
Abstract
Adaptive control strategies can improve crop water use efficiency by adapting irrigation management to the spatial crop water requirements. A field experiment was conducted in 2011-12 to evaluate real-time adaptive control of furrow irrigated cotton. The flow rate was adjusted during three irrigation events based on real-time feedback from advance and flow meters. Preliminary results indicate that adaptive irrigation control increased cotton growth and reduced water use.
