Consequently, using precise farming techniques to refine “irrigation scheduling” is a research area of particular interest to Susan Moran, a researcher with the US department of Agriculture. She explains that in the southwest,
15、 irrigation is both difficult and expensive. There, she says, farmers have a tendency to over irrigate, spending both more time and money than necessary. “Im trying to provide new information that could be used by farmers to schedule irrigations to improve their profitability and use less water,” Mo
16、ran says. “Farmers often look at weather changes and then schedule irrigation based on that information. But if they had better information, they could use scientific models to compute more precisely how much water their crop is using.” Rather than guessing their crops potential need for water based
17、 upon weather changes, farmers can use remote sensors to measure how much water their crop is actually using. This would give them a more accurate measure of how much more water it needs. Moran believes that if farmers are getting good and timely measurements of plant and air temperature, then they

Im hoping they could do the same with remote sensing datapurchase one scene over a large area to cover many farms, which would further reduce the cost.”1. What
