Abstract The objective of the present study was to inv...

Comprehensive agricultural models are crucial for assisting several decision makingprocesses due to their capability for use under different conditions. SALTMED is a holisticgeneric model, which simulates yield, dry matter and soil water content under differentirrigation managements and systems. The aim of this study was to calibrate the SALTMEDmodel to simulate wheat yield, dry matter and soil...

The study reports the development of a model for the generation of daily volumes and hourly discharge hydrographs, withdrawn from on-demand pressurised irrigation systems. The model is based on the simulation of the water budget at the level of each single hydrant. Under the hypothesis that the initial soil moisture is at field capacity, once the soil water reserve falls down a pre-defined limi...

The study was conducted in the northern Texas Rolling Plains in 1999 to define the relationship between number of cotton aphids, Aphis gossypii Glover, and resulting contamination of cotton lint by honeydew. Whole-plot treatments were three furrow irrigation management treatments: cotton grown without supplemental irrigation (dryland), irrigated cotton with last irrigation in mid August, and ir...

This paper reviews the various methods available for irrigation scheduling, contrasting traditional water-balance and soil moisture-based approaches with those based on sensing of the plant response to water deficits. The main plant-based methods for irrigation scheduling, including those based on direct or indirect measurement of plant water status and those based on plant physiological respon...

Numerous factors that affect corn yield in the Northern Great Soil moisture status is also important in maintaining Plains are not considered in current N fertilizer recommendations. A maximum corn yields, and maintaining optimal soil moislinear model to describe the interactions of N fertility, weather, soil, ture is facili...

Irrigated row-crop agriculture is contributing to declining groundwater in areas such as the Mississippi Delta region of eastern Arkansas. There is a need to move toward sustainable levels of groundwater withdrawal. Recent improvements in remote monitoring technologies such as wireless soil moisture sensors and unmanned aerial vehicles offer the potential for farmers to effectively practice sit...
