Advanced methodologies in machine learning, optimal control, and agricultural water management to address irrigation scheduling in large-scale agriculture
Through a multidisciplinary approach, Precision Irrigation for Agriculture presents rigorous and practical methods that integrate machine learning, optimal control, and agricultural water management to design irrigation schedulers tailored for large-scale agricultural fields. The book includes case studies and comparative studies, bridging the gap between theory and real-world application.
The book begins with a thorough review of existing irrigation scheduling practices and recent advancements in the field, then proceeds to examine the application of machine learning methods and optimal control strategies to address various challenges in irrigation scheduling.
The central focus of the book is the development of a novel irrigation scheduler. This novel scheduler unifies model predictive control with three machine learning paradigms―supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning―into a cohesive framework specifically designed for the daily irrigation scheduling problem in large-scale agricultural fields.
The book also presents a computationally efficient methodology that leverages remote sensing observations to estimate soil moisture content and soil hydraulic parameters, which are key elements in the design of precise irrigation schedulers.
Written by a team of qualified academics, Precision Irrigation for Agriculture includes information on:
- Soil moisture modeling, including water content, energy status of soil water, the soil water retention curve, Darcy’s law, and the Richards’ equation
- Model predictive control and its application in irrigation scheduling, covering problem formulation, feasibility, solution techniques, and controller tuning
- Parameter selection and state estimation, including sensitivity analysis for parameter identifiability, the orthogonal projection method for parameter selection, and extended Kalman filter for simultaneous state and parameter estimation
- Multi-agent reinforcement learning for irrigation scheduling, including the integration of decentralized actor–critic agents, the limiting management zone concept, and model predictive control (MPC) to form a multi-agent MPC paradigm for irrigation scheduling; a semi-centralized multi-agent reinforcement learning framework to further refine irrigation timing decisions; and agent design, testing, and comparative studies against traditional irrigation scheduling schemes.
Precision Irrigation for Agriculture is a valuable resource for researchers in process control and irrigation management, irrigation practitioners, and students of agriculture, water management, machine learning, and optimal control.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to GreatBookPrices, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
