Abstract Drip irrigation systems are widely used worldwide to satisfy the water demand of agricultural crops. It is known that drip technology has a number other advantages, such as intensive irrigation, automation, and economical benefits. The methods which available in hydraulics calculation design. One most important issues system correct estimation discharge coming out drippers. As from hyd...

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...

Strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne) is a high-value cash crop that benefi ts from preplant soil fumigation with methyl bromide (MB) and chloropicrin (CP). Methyl bromide will be banned in the U.S. and other developed countries by 2005 for most uses. Potential alternative chemicals to replace methyl bromide for soil fumigation include CP, 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D), and methyl isothiocyana...

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...

The loss of 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) as a postplant nematicide created a serious void in nematode protection for crops nationwide. An acceptable replacement for DBCP is needed, especially on susceptible perennials such as grapes, Vitis vinifera L. Phases of our postplant nematicide research were conducted in commercial vineyards where nematode disease existed on established vines wate...

Drip irrigation control systems in fields generally include a large number of sensors and valves; controlling these devices efficiently can be achieved by using distributed irrigation control (DIC), which has the advantages of reduced wiring and piping costs and easier installation and maintenance. In this study, a wireless low power valve controller for drip irrigation control systems was deve...

Abstract The global climate changes and their influence on agriculture in Uzbekistan were analyzed, including problems of irrigation water shortage irrigated lands the lower reaches Amu Darya with greatest due to repeated dry years. Additionally, recommendations for effective use resources conditions meadow alluvial soils salinization shallow salinized groundwater proposed subirrigation drip ir...
