Abstract
Plant growth and irrigation advance rate monitoring is required for crop and irrigation management in broadacre surface irrigated fields. However, this monitoring is typically manual, labour-intensive and conducted in a limited number of locations in the field which may not represent the whole field. A thermal camera on a tower has been used to determine location of water in the field during surface irrigation events; and low-cost cameras on field vehicles and irrigation machines have been used to map cotton growth and fruiting. These systems potentially enable automation of surface irrigation cut-off to improve water use efficiency and improve agronomic and irrigation management.
