Enhancing the systems productivity and water use efficiency through coordinated soil water sharing and compensation in strip-intercropping

Efficiency of superabsorbents in improving water productivity

Agricultural residues and various other materials are currently being used as additives to improve the physical and chemical properties of soil. Iran is located in an arid and semiarid region, so using strategies to reduce water use will reduce the problem water scarcity. The use of superabsorbent to increase water uptake and retention is one of the solutions that have been applied to improve w...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Enhancing economic water productivity under on farm reservoirs in diversified rainfed cropping systems

A long term study was done to assess the impact of on farm reservoirs (OFR) on oil seedand cereal based cropping systems with vegetables (okra, tomato and carrot) in semi-aridalfisol of southern Telangana region. Two supplemental irrigation (SI) depths (30 and 50 mm)from OFR with raingun system were studied for assessing the water productivity andprofitability of the technology in these croppin...

Productivity and water use efficiency of sweet sorghum as affected by soil water deficit occurring at different vegetative growth stages

The growth and production of sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] crops under semi-arid conditions in the Mediterranean environment of southern Italy are constrained by water stress. The effects of temporary water stress on growth and productivity of sweet sorghum were studied during three seasons at Rutigliano (Bari, Italy). The aim of this research was to evaluate the sensitivity of ph...

Soil water regime and water concervation efficiency in a non-irrigated semi-arid environment
