title = "Irrigation control in cotton fields using ground thermal imaging",
abstract = "A continuous real-time sensing system for monitoring spatial variations in cotton water status was developed using a thermal camera mounted on a vehicle. Irrigation control based on the products of this system, i.e. calculated leaf water potential (LWP) values, was examined on a semi-commercial scale. Irrigation using the developed system was compared to commercial practice in commercial fields. The experiment showed that the use of the developed system to irrigate commercial fields is at least as good as direct LWP measurements and farmers can optimize water use efficiency in cotton fields. Yet, a solution should be found to increase the system capacity and to turn it into a cost effective system.",
