During 2015, vines receiving season-long drip irrigation delivered into the lower root zone via hard plastic tubes yielded 70 % of commercial production while receiving only 15% of the water as the vines receiving full commercial rates of surface drip irrigation. Vines receiving direct root-zone (DRZ) irrigation at rates reduced to 60, 30, and 15% of commercial drip irrigation (DI) produced ind...

A laboratory soil column experiment was first conducted to analyze water movement in latosol of sugarcane field under drip irrigation from single-point source at different emitter discharge rates. Next, a mathematical model of soil water movement under drip irrigation from single-point source was built using Hydrus-3D, which could accurately simulate the shape of the wetted soil volume and the ...

Continuous application of P fertilizers under different irrigation patterns can change soil phosphorus (P) chemical behavior and increase soil P levels that are of environmental concern. To assess the effect of long-term different irrigation patterns on soil P fractions and availability, this study examined sequential changes in soil organic P and inorganic P from furrow irrigation (FI), surfac...

in order to study the effect of planting arrangements and water quantities in drip irrigation onyield of maize, an experiment was carried out using a spilt block based on randomizedcomplete block design for three years (2006-09) in moghan. the factorial experiment hadthree planting densities (75000, 85000 and 95000 plants per hectare ) with one- and two-rowscultivation (b1= one row cultivation ...

current study was carried out with aim to evaluate the effect of pressurized irrigation methods and furrow irrigation method with municipal effluent on distribution of salinity and moisture in the soil profile. the experimental study was designed by split plot layout with three irrigation methods including furrow, surface drip (sd) irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation (ssd) and two water q...

introduction: one of the serious problems in the further development of maize cultivation is increasing irrigation efficiency. using conventional irrigation causes a shortage of water resources to increase the acreage of the crop. with regard to the development of maize cultivation, agronomic and executable methods must be studied to reduce water consumption. using drip irrigation system is mos...

In past couple of decades, there is immediate growth in field of agricultural technology. Utilization of proper method of irrigation by drip is very reasonable and proficient. A various drip irrigation methods have been proposed, but they have been found to be very luxurious and dense to use. The farmer has to maintain watch on irrigation schedule in the conventional drip irrigation system, whi...

The conservation of water is crucial to sustainable agricultural production in areas of low rainfall or uneven precipitation distribution. Under such circumstances, drip irrigation methods offer a useful option for economic production of vegetable crops. This preliminary study examined the efficacy and performance of two drip irrigation methods on cucumber and tomato crops grown out of season. ...
