Abstract: The use of rotating spray plate sprinklers (RSPS) can reduce the water and energy requirements in pressurized irrigation systems. Installation of RSPS in continuous move irrigation machines, such as traveling trailers ...

Abstract: Level basins, when properly designed and managed, often attain very high irrigation efficiencies. Problems can arise when the infiltrated depth exceeds the soil water holding capacity or when the crops are sensitive to ...

Abstract: Microtopography has long been regarded as a key variable affecting basin irrigation performance. This paper reports on the extension of a flat bed two-dimensional basin irrigation model to the simulation of irrigation ...

Abstract: Over the last 10 years, telecontrol systems have been incorporated into the majority of modern collective pressurized irrigation networks in Spain. This type of infrastructure provides many opportunities for irrigation ...

Abstract: A comparative study of two types of spray sprinklers was performed. Rotating spray plate sprinklers (RSPSs) and fixed spray plate sprinklers (FSPSs) were evaluated individually in open field conditions. The water distribution, ...

Abstract: The development of a coupled crop model (

Abstract: In this work, applications of the coupled solid set sprinkler irrigation and crop model AdorSim introduced in the companion paper are presented. The sprinkler irrigation model is based on ballistic theory, while the crop ...
