Controlled Water Table Irrigation System Effect on Growing Medium Water Potential

Effects of irrigation on water use and water use efficiency in two fast growing Eucalyptus plantations

Eucalyptus plantations occupy almost 20 million ha worldwide and exceed 3.7 million ha in Brazil alone. Improved genetics and silviculture have led to as much as a three-fold increase in productivity in Eucalyptus plantations in Brazil and the large land area occupied by these highly productive ecosystems raises concern over their effect on local water supplies. As part of the Brazil Potential ...

Effects of shallow water table, salinity and frequency of irrigation water on the date palm water use

Comparing canopy temperature and leaf water potential as irrigation scheduling criteria of potato in water-saving irrigation strategies

Irrigation scheduling is important in irrigation water management. In this study, full (FI),deficit (DI) and partial root drying (PRD) irrigation strategies were applied in Agria and Ramospotato cultivars. Canopy temperature (CT) and leaf water potential (LWP) were assessed as thepotential tools for irrigation scheduling during the vegetative and productive growth stages.LWP varied between ca. ...

Growing Cities as Sources of Irrigation Water: Cities as Sources of Irrigation Water: an Indian Scenario 2

support their peri-urban futures by providing irrigation water for food production. Over 1.1 million ha of land could be irrigated if the city waters are rendered safe for use. While the practice of periurban agriculture using city water is not a new phenomenon in India, its full potential has not been fully explored, due to poor/marginal quality and lack of adequate institutional arrangements ...

Effect of Polluted Irrigation Water on Crop Plants

“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed.” Rapid industrialization has resulted in the generation of liquid, solid and gaseous wastes in such a huge quantity that a serious threat is likely to be posed to the quality of water in the years to come. The crux of the present day environmental problem concerning the water is further accentuated due to everyday po...
