Provides information on crop performance in a side by side comparison of irrigation layouts and systems. Irrigation layouts can be modified to allow for a close rotation of rice and other crops, without the need to change irrigation layouts to satisfy the different crop needs. Will be a useful basis for growers and advisers contemplating changes in irrigation layouts.
