The research challenge
Water-limited environments demand careful management. ICRC aims to investigate practical irrigation approaches that balance crop needs, resource efficiency and farm economics.
Proposed research priorities
- Efficient irrigation scheduling
- Water-use efficiency across growing environments
- Practical water-management technologies for farmers
From evidence to practical use
The proposed approach combines collaborative research, testing, validation, demonstration and capacity building. Technologies would be evaluated under relevant field conditions before wider dissemination.
Working together
ICRC seeks to connect national research systems, universities, extension organisations, farmers and industry around this research priority. Specific projects, teams and results will be published when confirmed.
