The definitive version is available at: http://ascelibrary.org/toc/jidedh/130/6 ; In this work, applications of the coupled solid set sprinkler irrigation and crop model AdorSim introduced in the companion paper are presented. The sprinkler irrigation model is based on ballistic theory, while the crop model is based on CropWat. AdorSim was used to evaluate the effect of sprinkler spacing on seasonal irrigation water use (WU) and crop yield. The most relevant results were related to the characterization of advanced irrigation scheduling strategies. The differences in crop yield and WU derived from irrigating at different times of the day were estimated for two locations strongly differing in wind speed. Irrigation guidelines were established in these locations to relate gross water use and water stress induced yield reductions. Simulations were also applied to estimate adequate wind speed thresholds for irrigation operation. In the experimental conditions, thresholds of 2.0 - 2.5 m s-1 proved effective to control yield reductions and to minimize WU. ; This research was sponsored by the Research and Development program of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Government of Spain and the FEDER funds of The European Union, through grant 2FD97-0547, and by the CONSI+D of the Government of Aragón, through grant P028/2000. ; Peer reviewed
