1. Precision Irrigation To Improve Water Use EfficiencyEfficient water use is the key to sustainable management of water resources. Over irrigating is wasteful and can lead to leaching of fertilizers and other potential pollutants into both underground and surface water supplies, whereas under irrigation leads to reduced yields. The spatial and temporal characterization of crop water consumption is important for efficient management of water resources and allows water delivery to match agricultural demands. Research... S.

2. Relationship Between Water Use Efficiency, Daily Stomatal Conductance Trend and Evaporation of Maize and Soybean CropsWater Use Efficiency (WUE) represents the biomass production per unit of water and is commonly affected by temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, and water availability. Plants regulate the water transpiration efficiency through the opening and closing of stomata. Farmers can save water and maintain yield by improving crop's WUE during the period of drought through proper field management. The calculation of WUE requires the information of crop weight and irrigation volume, which is difficult... J. Zhang, N. Chamara, G. Bai, Y. Ge |
3. Estimating Real-time Soil Water Content (SWC) in Corn and Soybean Fields Using Machine Learning Models, Proximal Remote Sensing, and Weather DataSoil Water Content (SWC) is crucial for precise irrigation management, especially in center-pivot systems. Real-time estimation of SWC is vital for scheduling irrigation to prevent overwatering or underwatering. Proper irrigation yields benefits such as improved water efficiency, enhanced crop yield and quality, minimized environmental impact, optimized labor and energy costs, and improved soil health. Various in-situ techniques, such as Time-domain reflectometry (TDR), frequency-domain... N. Chamara, Y. Ge, F. Bai |
