This study aims to examine the impact of combined irrigation and fertilizer control on summer maize yield, nitrogen use efficiency (NE), leaching (NL) in Yellow River Basin. Based measured data from field experiment 2021 2022, a water-nitrogen movement model was constructed for ‘Zhengdan 958’ under two methods (wide furrow (G) border (Q)), three rates (120 kg/ha (N1), 220 (N2), 320 (N3)), frequ...

ABSTRACT- In this study, effect of deficit irrigation with different salinity levels and planting methods (in-furrow and on-ridge) on nutrient and toxic ions uptake by rapeseed was investigated in a two-year experiment. The experiment was conducted at Research Station, located in the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, I.R. of Iran. Results indicated that an increase in water stress leve...

Soil and water resources can be severely degraded by salinity when total salt input exceeds output in irrigated agriculture. This study was conducted to examine partitioning of Ca2+, Na+, and Cl- between soil and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants under different irrigation regimes with both field and modeling assessments. In drip and sprinkler treatments, the irrigation water was salinize...

This paper examines the impacts of off-farm employment on irrigation water efficiency (IWE) with a set of household level data collected in Hebei Province in North China. A major finding is that households with higher shares of laborers working off-farm locally seem to achieve higher IWEs. The effect of local off-farm employment is greater among those households that have made more efforts to u...

This research was conducted to develop infiltration model and evaluate Omo Kuraz III furrow irrigation scheme performance using three common parameters namely: application efficiency, water storage efficiency distribution uniformity.

Under surface irrigation, particularly in clay soils cut-off technique is considered as one of the most practical way in saving irrigation water that traditional farmers could be easily implemented. Such farming way is processing through find out the optimum length of irrigation run at which watering should be stopped instead of irrigation till the tail end of the furrows or borders. Such proce...

Microtopography has long been regarded as a key variable affecting basin irrigation performance. This paper reports on the extension of a flat bed two-dimensional basin irrigation model to the simulation of irrigation events in basins with microtopography. The model incorporates the local surface slopes in the x and y directions to the governing set of partial differential equations. Three fiel...

The primary source of plant parasitic nematodes in irrigation waterways in the Columbia Basin Project of eastern Washington is irrigation runoff returned into the irrigation system. This has contributed to the rapid spread of plant parasitic nematodes observed during eight years of study.
