The 11th International Conference on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs (ICORD), South Africa, included the Africa-Rare initiative launch and facilitated multi-stakeholder engagement in the challenges facing, and opportunities ...
Scheduling irrigation from wetting front depth.
(Elsevier, 2016-07-07)
Irrigation scheduling is often based around the analogy of a ‘tipping bucket’, and the measurement or prediction of the amount of water stored within the bucket. We compare this conventional approach of scheduling with ...
