Water Efficient Irrigation and Environmentally Sustainable Irrigated Rice Production in China
Rice is one of the most important food crops contributing over 39% of the total food grain production in China. Out of 113 million hectares of area sown under food crops 28% is covered by rice. The traditional irrigation regime for rice, termed as “continuous deep flooding irrigation” was applied in China before 1970s. A tremendous amount of water was used for the rice growing and only a low yi...
متن کاملAllocative Inefficiency and Tenure Arrangements in Irrigated Agriculture in Pakistan
Pakistan is home to one of the largest and most complex irrigation infrastructure systems in the world, consisting of 25 million hectares of irrigated agriculture, 56,000 kilometers of main canals, and tubewells in excess of 600,000. Nearly 100 million people depend on 107,000 water courses that are fed by 44 canal systems. Ineffective water management policies in the past have affected water a...
متن کاملTools Towards Managing Mycorrhiza for Sustainable Agriculture
The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, in concert with other soil dwelling microorganisms such as the so-called “plant growth promoting rhizobacteria”, play a pivotal role for natural soil fertility and stability, hence, for sustainable crop production. Appropriate management of the AM fungal community is crucial, especially in the tropics where the cultivated soils are notoriously fragile and ...
متن کاملBacteriophage-Based Bacterial Wilt Biocontrol for an Environmentally Sustainable Agriculture
Bacterial wilt diseases caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, R. pseudosolanacearum, and R. syzygii subsp. indonesiensis (former R. solanacearum species complex) are among the most important plant diseases worldwide, severely affecting a high number of crops and ornamentals. Difficulties of bacterial wilt control by non-biological methods are related to effectiveness, bacterial resistance and envir...
متن کاملPricing Policies in Managing Water Resources in Agriculture: An Application of Contract Theory to Unmetered Water
The paper explores how agricultural water pricing could contribute to lowering water demand when uses are unobserved (asymmetric information). The topic of the paper is justified by the fact that most water authorities worldwide do not control water uses at the farm scale. The study draws inspiration from the pricing policies of a Reclamation and Irrigation Board in Northern Italy. It analyses ...
