Assessing the financial and environmental impacts of precision irrigation in a humid climate
Precision agriculture is increasingly used where in-field spatial variability exists; however, the benefits of its use in humid climates are less apparent.

Water management assessment in a historic garden: the case study of the Real Alcazar (Seville, Spain) [PDF]
Irrigation plays a very important role in a Mediterranean garden. In spite of this, there are not many studies assessing irrigation water management of landscapes.

Evaluating spatial and temporal variations in sub-field level crop water demands
Variable rate irrigation (VRI) requires accurate knowledge of crop water demands at the sub-field level. Existing VRI practices commonly use one or more variables like soil electrical conductivity, historical yields, and topographic maps to delineate ...

Effect of stem age on the response of stem diameter variations to plant water status in tomato [PDF]
Plant water status plays a major role in glasshouse cultivation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). New climate control technologies alter the glasshouse climate and make it less dependent on solar radiation.

Optimizing variable rate irrigation using model and satellite-based dynamic prescription maps
Variable rate irrigation is usually based on prescription maps delineated according to a static approach. Irrigation rate and timing are optimized by sensor and/or models applied within homogenous zones whose spatial distribution is kept constant during ...

Control of Variable Watermilfoil in Bashan Lake, CT with 2,4-D: Monitoring of Lake and Well Water. [PDF]
Variable watermilfoil (Myriophyllum heterophyllum Michx.) has recently become a problem in Bashan Lake, East Haddam, CT, USA. By 1998, approximately 4 ha of the 110 ha lake was covered with variable watermilfoil. In 1999, the milfoil was spot treated
