Abstract | Irrigation decision-making systems can automatically determine irrigation timing and/volume requirements. NCEA has developed control strategies and sensors to automate irrigation management, reduce labour, and improve water productivity and profit. NCEA's control frameworks 'VARIwise' and 'AutoFurrow' incorporate one or a combination of the following: infield sensing of irrigation application, soil-water status and plant growth and fruit load; hydraulic models for irrigation application; crop production models for predicting crop performance under different irrigation scenarios; optimisation procedure for processing data and determining appropriate irrigation control signals; and actuation hardware for application control. |
