Estimating irrigation duration for high performance furrow irrigation on cracking clay soils

Selection of an appropriate combination of flow rate and time to cut-off is critical to the achievement of high performance furrow irrigation. For the cotton growing regions of Australia the ready availability of land and the relative scarcity of water impose a constraint not present in all surface irrigation areas. In this situation the objective is to improve water use efficiency by maximising application efficiency. In this paper, simulations...
