Abstract

Take Home Messages
• Centre pivots and lateral moves are increasingly being adopted by broadacre farmers. However, machine performance is often lower than claimed and should be evaluated.
• Ensure the machine has an adequate capacity and high uniformity of application.
• Scheduling using centre pivots and lateral moves is more complex than other systems–tools are available to assist in assessing different strategies.
• Variable rate application systems provide an opportunity to respond to infield spatial variability
• The next generation of irrigation scheduling tools may involve automated adaptive control systems to maximise crop water use efficiency.
