It simulates the timing and depth of future irrigations by combining procedures from the food and agriculture organization (FAO) guidelines for irrigation scheduling (FAO-56) with those of the agricultural production systems simulator (APSIM) modeling framework. This paper introduces a new web-based decision support system called AQUAMAN that was developed to assist Australian peanut growers schedule irrigations. Better information and tools that are easy to use, accurate, and cost-effective are therefore needed to help local peanut growers improve irrigation management. Although the potential pod yield of the crop in these areas is about 8 t ha −1, most growers generally obtain around 5 t ha −1, partly due to poor irrigation management. ![]() Peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) is an economically important legume crop in irrigated production areas of northern Australia.
