A major challenge for crop research in the 21st century is how to predict crop performance
as a function of genetic architecture. Advances in “next generation” DNA sequencing have …

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 …

This paper reviews the various methods available for irrigation scheduling, contrasting
traditional water-balance and soil moisture-based approaches with those based on sensing …

Nitrogen and irrigation management are crucial in the production of high protein irrigated
durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) in arid regions. However, as the availability of irrigation …

This article provides a focused survey of progress in crop evapotranspiration (ET)
measurement and modeling, with particular emphasis on the aspects of interest to the …

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 …

Water is the most essential substance for human being and living organisms. Water scarcity
in Africa is mainly economic due to the poor management of water resources. The Nile River …

This paper reviews the literature on applications of remote sensing for monitoring soil-and
crop-water status for irrigation purposes. The review is organized into two main sections:(1) …

In 2008, scientists from seven federal and state institutions worked together to investigate
temporal and spatial variations of evapotranspiration (ET) and surface energy balance in a …
