Integrated water management has become a priority for cropping systems where subirrigation is possible. Compared to conventional sprinkler irrigation, the controlling table can lead substantial increase in yield and use efficiency with less pumping energy requirements. Knowing spatiotemporal distribution of depth (WTD) soil properties should help perform intelligent, integrated management. Obse...

Manure management is an integral concern of Florida dairymen. Wastewater from nine dairy sprayfields on seven north Florida dairies with overhead sprinkler or gun irrigation facilities was collected biweekly from early September 1992 to Janu­ ary 1993. Samples were taken from the pump area of either anaerobic lagoons or settling ponds, rainfall, and from effluent plus rainfall in sprayfields. A...

Literature regarding evaporation from soil, wet plant surfaces, and sprinkler droplets was examined, normalized, and inter­ preted. Much of the evaporation literature is difficult to compare and interpret; this paper offers comparisons and discussions of various findings by others as well as by the writers. Techniques of measuring and estimating evaporation from irrigation and rainfall are disc...

Irrigation can provide significant agronomic and financial returns on agricultural activity. The maximization of the benefits obtained from irrigation depends, among other factors, water use efficiency, which is intrinsically related to application uniformity. For sprinkler method, uniformity assessment based results labor-intensive field tests in two-dimensional distribution pattern measured a...

The article presents the results of research on effect sprinkling structural and aggregate composition soil its density. high quality irrigation is achieved with uniform distribution rain over area, acceptable intensity drop diameter impact force, at which plants structure are not damaged, puddles surface runoff formed. For complete absorption water into preservation low intensity, small drops ...
