Background: The increasing population and need for higher quantity of food grain production necessitates efficient use limited water in the country, as agriculture sector alone uses 78% resources India. During rabi season, mostly crops are grown with irrigation southern Odisha. There is no enough information on requirement maize, sorghum pearl millet region, which necessitated this study. Metho...

Poor irrigation water management is one of the major factors limiting crop production inEthiopia. This study was, therefore, conducted at three different locations in the southeasternEthiopia for 2 consecutive years to investigate the effects of different irrigation depths andintervals with furrow irrigation system on tuber yield, biomass yield and water use efficiency ofpotato. The treatments ...

By using the GIS technologies, we interpolate the site-based meteorological data into climatic surface data, which are the main input parameters for the CropWat model, used to estimate the reference evapotranspiration (ET0). And then by combining the ET0 with the information on share of cultivated land decoded from the Landsat TM/ETM digital imagines covering the entire case study area, the Hua...

Crop water requirements of Roma tomato that planted on different spacing for four treatment and its replications in Nyagatare district Kinihira village have been computed with CROPWAT 8.0 using the meteorological parameters. The requirement was evapotranspiration (ET0), effective rainfall, Net Irrigation demand, Gross demand irrigation interval crops grown computed. Based rainfall data, soil ch...
