The fundamental principle of adequate irrigation management is to satisfy crop water requirements while optimizing agronomic profits with the lowest possible consumption of water. Based on this idea, new techniques have been incorporated into different irrigation scheduling approaches. Among...

The temporal patterns of evapotranspiration (ET) and its biophysical and physiological controls (e.g., soil water content, solar radiation, and canopy conductance) occur over a wide range of time-scales ranging from seconds to decades. Thus, there is increasing interest in understanding at which...
