The Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) will release its newest publication, Precision Irrigation Management, during a live webinar on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
This new paper highlights how precision irrigation technologies—such as variable-rate irrigation systems, soil and plant sensors, and evapotranspiration (ET)-based decision tools—are helping producers make every drop of water count. By integrating data, automation, and real-time monitoring, these systems improve efficiency, reduce costs, and support climate resilience across modern agriculture.
The webinar will feature authors of the paper presenting key findings and practical insights on how precision irrigation technologies and data-driven systems can improve agricultural water use.
Presenters:
-
Dr. Suat Irmak, The Pennsylvania State University
-
Dr. Jonathan Aguilar, Kansas State University
-
Dr. Dana Porter, Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Service
Final presentation details and full speaker lineup will be announced soon.
Authors:
Suat Irmak, Jonathan Aguilar, Viacheslav Adamchuk, Hsin-Hui Huang, Susan O’Shaughnessy, Meetpal Kukal, Isaya Kisekka, Dana Porter, Manuel Andrade-Rodriguez, Aghil Yari, and Chandra Madramootoo.
