Variable-Rate Irrigation in Diversified Vegetable Crops: System Development and Evaluation
Diversified cropping systems offer an alternative to sustainable agriculture, but they present high spatial variability. This study aims to develop and evaluate an automated irrigation system and a variable-rate water application for areas with ...

Hydraulic performance characterisation of variable rate irrigation technology
Variable-rate irrigation (VRI) technology for centre pivots and lateral moves has been commercially available for over three decades, but its uptake has been limited, with growers citing additional capital and operating costs, the detrimental impact on hydraulic and irrigation performance, as key issues.

Modelling Soil Water Infiltration and Wetting Patterns in Variable Working-Head Moistube Irrigation
Moistube irrigation is an efficient method that accurately irrigates and fertilizes agricultural crops. Investigation into the mechanisms of infiltration behaviors under an adjusted working head (WKH) benefits a timely and artificially regulating ...

Fusion of multi soil data for the delineation of management zones for variable rate irrigation [PDF]
Up until now, there have been no multi-sensor approaches used to estimate available water content (AWC) in order to determine variable rate irrigation. This has been a major problem for growers adopting precision farming technologies.

Variable Rate Irrigation of Maize and Soybean in West-Central Nebraska Under Full and Deficit Irrigation. [PDF]
Variable rate irrigation (VRI) may improve center pivot irrigation management, including deficit irrigation. A remote-sensing-based evapotranspiration model was implemented with Landsat imagery to manage irrigations for a VRI equipped center pivot irrigated field located in West-Central Nebraska planted to maize in 2017 and soybean in 2018.

Spatial irrigation scheduling for variable rate irrigation
Recent unprecedented demands on freshwater for irrigation have led to over-allocations and restrictions. Variable rate irrigation (VRI) aims to optimise scheduling according to soil differences using irrigation prescription maps coupled with software-driven variable rate irrigators and individual sprinkler control for site specific management.

Review of the economic-mathematical analysis for the management of irrigation water and other crop production parameters [PDF]
Plant growth and yield are influenced by many production parameters such as the amount of irrigation water, fertilization, plant density, etc. Due to the limitation of resources and agricultural inputs, increased production costs, food demand, population
