Can Solar‐Powered Irrigation Systems Naturally Meet Crop Water Requirements? Proof of Concept From a Case Study in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1423-1435, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Irrigation scheduling is crucial for ensuring precise water delivery to crops. However, in many sub‐Saharan African irrigation schemes, water is applied without considering crop water needs, resulting in low crop water productivity and low yields. Solar‐powered irrigation systems can automatically meet these needs by utilizing solar radiation,
