This paper reports the performance evaluations undertaken on a real-time optimisation system for furrow irrigation (AutoFurrow). Trials for the system were undertaken on commercial furrow-irrigated cotton properties near St George and Dalby, Queensland Australia. The system performed robustly in...

Eddy covariance (ECV) is a micrometeorological mass transfer method for measuring evapotranspiration (ET) which has been used successfully for the last decade to measure evapotranspiration from natural and agricultural plant communities. However, no such usage has been reported in relation to...

Quantifying the various components of evapotranspiration during sprinkler irrigation is not only challenging but also difficult to measure and validate using traditional methods. In this paper, measurements of the varying rates of ET using precision energy budget/eddy covariance measurements and...
