| Abstract | Travelling gun irrigation is a popular form of irrigation in the Queensland dairy, sugar and horticultural industries. High uniformity of irrigation applications is essential to the production of high yields from these crops however, poor uniformity is characteristic of travelling gun machines. For example, Smith et al. (2002) reported that only 25% of machines tested in sugar cane areas near Bundaberg, Qld, gave uniformities greater than the recommended Christiansen Coefficient of Uniformity (CU) of 80%. |
