-Water plays an important role in everyday’s life. Agriculture is a backbone of our country and it uses 85% of available fresh water for irrigation. Irrigation is the method of supplying the water to the plants artificially. In India, Farmers follow different irrigation systems to cultivate the crops. The different types of irrigation methods include sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, surfa...

Total Channel ControlTM is a patented automation design for large scale open canal irrigation networks that manages water distribution within capacity constraints to achieve on-demand water delivery whilst maximizing water distribution. Here it is shown that this decentralized and distributed control implementation realizes near globally optimal performance. Furthermore, the performance enhance...

The present study was carried out at Lovely Professional university, Phagwara, Punjab during 2019 to the performance of okra under irrigation levels and mulching methods drip irrigation. treatment comprised 3 (1.0 ETc, 0.8 ETc 0.6 ETc) 5 mulch (black plastic mulch, silver straw soil no mulch) laid in split plot design replicated thrice. growth yield attributes were significantly influenced by m...

BACKGROUND The need for reoperation or wound infection treatments between pulsatile and gravity irrigation are statistically equivalent, however, it is unclear which method maximizes operative efficiency and expeditious irrigation. In this study we set out to determine the differences in irrigation rate between these various treatment methods. METHODS This was an ex-vivo experimental laborato...

Irrigation application in cotton crops is traditionally discharged at a constant rate for an entire field. However, not all plants in a crop may require the same amount of water due to the stochastic nature of the crop response and the spatial variability of environmental factors within the field. Control strategies are required to effectively manage spatially and temporally varied irrigation a...

Water deficit stress, permanent or temporary, limits the growth and the distribution of natural vegetation and the performance of cultivated plants more than any other environmental factors. Mechanism involved is still not clear. In order to investigate the effect of different irrigation intervals and anti-transpirants compoundson yield and yield components of Black Cumin (Nigella sativa</e...
