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.
