This project found that infield thermal cameras could accurately measure canopy temperature for irrigation management for earlier growth stages than previous single point canopy temperature sensing technology.

The aim of the 2015 cotton irrigation technology tour is to bring irrigation researchers onto cotton farms across three cotton growing valleys to demonstrate new irrigation technology.

Aim and objectives On average about one third of applied nitrogen is lost which costs the cotton industry $32 million each year.

Site-specific irrigation enables the delivery of irrigation water where and when it is required

in the field. Commercially available hardware is available that can adjust the application

Adaptive irrigation control (1) Adaptive control strategies have been developed for real-time management of irrigation. A closedloop or timing (2) actuator hardware to adjust irrigation application
