Low permeability tarps can effectively minimize fumigant emissions while improving fumigation efficacy by retaining fumigants under the tarp. However, when planting holes are cut through the tarps, high-concentration fumigants may be released and result in environmental and worker safety hazards. In a 11-day column study, we explored the effect of drip irrigation application of ammonium thiosul...

Present study was carried out at the research farm of ICAR-Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala during 3 summer seasons 2016–17, 2017–18 and 2018–19 to assess crop water requirement upland taro (Colocasia esculenta L. Schott) arrive a suitable irrigation schedule under humid tropical conditions Kerala. The experiment conducted in randomized block design (RBD), with...

Although rainfall in the United States Mid-South is sufficient to produce corn (Zea mays L.) without irrigation in most years, timely irrigation has been shown to increase yields. The recent interest in ethanol fuels is expected to lead to increases in US corn production, and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is one possible way to increase application efficiency and thereby reduce water use. Th...

this experiment aimed to determine evapotranspiration, and responses of some yield and quality parameters of subsurface drip irrigated broccoli (brassica oleraceae l.). treatments included water application when available soil moistures were depleted 30, 40, and 50% during both spring and autumn cultivations. under a semi-arid climatic condition of tokat, turkey, the experiment was carried out ...

A field experiment was conducted during summer 2018 and 2019 to study the performance of maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes under drip furrow irrigation regimes at Main Agriculture Research Station, University Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, Karnataka. The laid out in strip plot design with 3 replications. Treatments included 4 levels (drip 0.6 ETc, 0.8 ETc 1.0 IW/CPE ratio) genotypes. data indicate...

in this study, a landrace melon zarde jalali as the scion and commercial varieties of cucurbita rootstocks cv., shintozwa and ferro-rz was used as the rootstock. grafted plants upon commercial varieties of cucurbita with own-rooted and ungrafted at three irrigation levels of 60, 80 and 100% (respectively 4984.32, 6124.82 and 7239.41 m3ha-1) based on total available water depletion with drip irr...

Among melons, cantaloupes are most frequently implicated in outbreaks and surveillance-based recalls due to Salmonella enterica. There is limited but compelling evidence that associates irrigation water quality as a significant risk of preharvest contamination of melons. However, the potential for root uptake from water and soil and subsequent systemic transport of Salmonella into melon fruit i...

Hetao Irrigation District (HID) is one of the main regions for maize and sunflower production in North China. However, water resource shortages soil salinization greatly limit production. The surface irrigation method HID; however, now, plastic mulching drip area increasing to reduce enhance crop yield. In this study, water, salt, nitrogen contents at 0–100 cm layer under non-mulching condition...

Coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) may be a potentially important source of bio-based energy in the southern US due to its vast acreage. It is often produced as part of a waste management plan with varying nutrient composition and energy characteristics on fields irrigated with livestock wastewater. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of subsurface drip irrigation wi...

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a significant fruit crop cultivated worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. However, its cultivation often constrained by limited water availability soil moisture stress, which may significantly affect yield quality. This study aimed to explore the effects of irrigation levels straw mulch on growth under drip system. The experiment encompassed six treatments:...
