Variable rate irrigation (VRI) sprinklers on mechanical move irrigation systems (center pivot
or lateral move) have been commercially available since 2004. Although the number of VRI …

Site-specific soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) are critical for determining irrigation thresholds
and adopting the best irrigation practices. In this study, we optimized two single-layer SHPs …

In recent years, precision agriculture has seen a substantial increase in the use of
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). They have shown great potential in spraying, nutrient …

Highlights The ARSPivot software seamlessly integrates site-specific irrigation scheduling
methods with weather, plant, and soil water sensing systems in the operation of variable-rate …

The surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL) has been demonstrated to provide
accurate estimates of crop evapotranspiration (ET) and yield at different spatial scales even …

The east-west ridge orientation has recently become an important agronomic method to
improve mechanization in solar greenhouses. However, these ridge orientation changes …

Current irrigation management zones (IMZs) for variable rate irrigation (VRI) systems are
static. They are delineated in the beginning of the season and used thereafter. However …

Spatial variation of soil moisture as affected by topography and soil textural patterns is an
important control on variability of yields in agricultural fields. Site-specific irrigation …

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 …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a group of interconnected autonomous sensor nodes
that use wireless communication technology. Their goal is to monitor physical or …
