Automatic irrigation scheduling has been demonstrated using wired sensors and sensor network systems with subsurface drip and moving irrigation systems. However, there are limited studies that report on crop yield and water use efficiency resulting from the use of wireless networks to automatically schedule and control irrigations. In this 2011 study, a multinode wireless sensor network (WSN) s...

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oilseed crop in India popularly known as "Surakanthi flower" It belongs to the family Asteraceae. The global challenge for coming decades increase food production with utilization of less water. can be partially achieved by increasing water use efficiency (WUE). Improving and nutrient has become imperative present day's Agriculture. A field trial...

Nonflooded irrigation is an important water-saving rice cultivation technology, but little is known on its photosynthetic mechanism. The aims of this work were to investigate photosynthetic characteristics of rice during grain filling stage under three nonflooded irrigation treatments: furrow irrigation with plastic mulching (FIM), furrow irrigation with nonmulching (FIN), and drip irrigation w...

ABSTRACT DMulching contributes to the maintenance of soil moisture at reasonable levels for crop growth. It influences water demand and irrigation time. The aim this study was estimate evapotranspiration root uptake by ‘BRS Princesa’ banana cultivar through a simple approach using some components balance within zone in bare mulched irrigated drip micro sprinkler systems. experimental design com...

It is of great significance to explore the strategy regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) under mulched drip stabilize tomato yield and improve quality efficiency. This experimental study was conducted on a drip-irrigated greenhouse in two consecutive years (2020 2021). Three levels were set for flowering fruit development stage (Stage I), three fruit-ripening II). As combination evaluation method...

due to limitation of conventional water resources, the use of unconventional water for agriculture is unavoidable. therefore, in order to investigate the effect of using different amounts of municipal wastewater on yield, yield components and water use efficiency of cotton in drip irrigation systems, a field experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2011 growing season at experimental farm of ...

pulse irrigation is consisted of an irrigation phase and a resting or non-operative irrigation phase. water intermittent use causes that advance front with less volume water over continuous irrigation is completed, which it effect on the pattern of soil moisture. another important subject in trickle irrigation is water distribution in non- operative irrigation that called redistribution. amount...

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...
