using modern irrigation methods such as border irrigation is one way for an optimum usage of water. potato, for this study, was cultured in a farm located at kermanshah faculty of agriculture to evaluate the efficiency of border irrigation. the culture potato was the agria variety and the applied treatment were 50, 75, and 100 percent of potato plant`s water requirement. tapes were 12 m and the...

A decrease in water resources around the globe in irrigated agriculture has resulted in a steep decline in irrigation water availability. Therefore, management options for efficient use of available irrigation water are inevitable. Deciding the critical time, frequency and amount of irrigation are compulsory to achieve higher crop outputs. Hence, this two-year field study was conducted to asses...

abstract low water holding capacity of soilless substrates increases water stress and waste of nutrient solution. irrigation time management can reduce such problems. in this research, responses of hydroponically cultured greenhouse strawberries were evaluated under different irrigation schedules. in first step, plant daily water need was estimated and then delivered to plants through two metho...

Conflicts between water supply and water demand are intensifying in irrigation districts along the Lower Yellow River due to climate change and human activities. To ensure both adequate food supply and water resource sustainability in China, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was used to simulate the water balance and water use of agro-ecosystems in an irrigation district of the lo...

optimum uses of water and nitrogen resources are the most important factors in agricultural systems due to limitations of agricultural inputs especially water. in order to investigate the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer and irrigation on efficiency and productivity of water consumption in three crop (sugar beet, corn and sesame) an experiment was carried out as strip split plo...

Drought stress (DS) is an important limiting factor for crop growth and production in some regions of the world. Limitation in water availability precludes optimal irrigation in some production regions. Therefore, investigations on the interaction of other factors to mitigate the DS to varying degree are important. Two field experiments were conducted in the experimental farm of the National Re...

in some regions of isfahan, although there is no soil and water salinity limitations, quality of sugar beet root is very low because of using high amount of irrigation water. a study was conducted to determine the relation between low irrigation and quality and quantity of sugar beet. in this study, a line source irrigation system for six water use treatments (from 10770 to 8554 m3/hec) was use...

The use of indicators for sustainability evaluation is an important step towards operationalization of the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development. Many literatures on framework for sustainable water management consider any one dimension of sustainability. In this paper, the sustainability of an irrigation system is assessed from economic and environmental dimension. An optimizat...
