The demand for freshwater is on the increase due to the rapid growth in the world's
population while the effect of global warming and climate change cause severe threat to …

In an effort to improve plant growth and to achieve high yield and/or quality, irrigation
scheduling (IS) seeks to provide plants with appropriate quantities of water at appropriate …

Agriculture plays a decisive role in the survival of humankind. The efficient and precise
regulation of agriculture will ensure the welfare of people throughout the world. However …

Sustainable freshwater management is underpinned by technologies which improve the
efficiency of agricultural irrigation systems. Irrigation scheduling has the potential to …

Globally, the irrigation of crops is the largest consumptive user of fresh water. Water scarcity
is increasing worldwide, resulting in tighter regulation of its use for agriculture. This …

Stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) has been a promising solution to complex
control problems under uncertain disturbances. However, traditional SMPC approaches …

The future of agriculture faces a threat from a changing climate and a rapidly growing
population. This has put enormous pressure on water and land resources as more food is …

Precision irrigation plays an important socio-economic and environmental role in our
society, reducing water and electricity consumption and increasing food production. An …

The growth of the global population, together with climate change and water scarcity, has
made the shift towards efficient and sustainable agriculture increasingly important …

We develop a novel data-driven robust model predictive control (DDRMPC) approach for
automatic control of irrigation systems. The fundamental idea is to integrate both mechanistic …
