Abstract

The National Centre for Engineering in Agriculture (NCEA) is investigating the use and field implementation of real-time adaptive control of irrigation application and timing to improve irrigation management. The Rural R&D for Profit project 'Smarter Irrigation for Profit' is enabling the development of site-specific irrigation control systems to dairy pastures with the University of Tasmania.
