The experiences gathered during the past 30 years support the operational use of irrigation
scheduling based on frequent multi-spectral image data. Currently, the operational use of …

As evaporation of water is an energy-demanding process, increasing evapotranspiration
rates decrease the surface temperature (Ts) of leaves and plants. Based on this principle …

The advances achieved during the last 30 years demonstrate the aptitude of the remote
sensing-based vegetation indices (VI) for the assessment of crop evapotranspiration (ET c) …

Canopy temperature has long been recognized as an indicator of plant water status and as
a potential tool for irrigation scheduling. In the present study, the potential of using thermal …

Crop coefficients are a widely used and universally accepted method for estimating the crop
evapotranspiration (ET c) component in irrigation scheduling programs. However …

Irrigation is very important for ensuring food security and reducing crop production
vulnerability caused by the lack of rain. Sustainable irrigation is the rational practice of all the …

Farm managers are becoming increasingly aware of the spatial variability in crop production
with the growing availability of yield monitors. Often this variability can be related to …

Canopy temperature has long been recognized as an indicator of plant water status,
therefore, a high-resolution thermal imaging system was used to map crop water status …

Decreased water uptake closes stomates, which reduces transpiration and increases leaf
temperature. The leaf or canopy temperature has long been used to make an empirical …

A prescription map is a set of instructions that controls a variable rate irrigation (VRI) system.
These maps, which may be based on prior yield, soil texture, topography, or soil electrical …
