A field study was initiated to evaluate a 3and 5-day furrow-irrigation schedule in a rice-production system. Averaged across furrow-irrigation schedules, ‘XL723’ height was greater than ‘Cybonnet’ in July and August of the growing season; however, panicle number was greater for Cybonnet than XL723. Yield components (spikelets, total kernels, and total filled kernels/panicle) and rough-rice yiel...

Under the current water crisis in agriculture, irrigation methods for saving and conserving are necessary. However, these must guarantee an appropriate yield with a concomitant economic benefit reduced environmental impact. In this study, two thresholds timing (IT) based on thermal imagery were analyzed UNICA potato variety three trials under drip (DI) furrow (FI) during 2017–2018 Lima, Peru. T...

Climate-change adaptation planning for managed wetlands is challenging under uncertain futures when the impact of historic climate variability on wetland response is unquantified. We assessed vulnerability of Modoc National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR) through use of the Basin Characterization Model (BCM) landscape hydrology model, and six global climate models, representing projected wetter and drie...

Serious water deficits and deteriorating environmental quality are threatening agricultural sustainability in the North China Plain (NCP). This paper addresses spatial and temporal availability of water resources in the NCP, identifies the effects of soil management, irrigation timing and amounts, and crop genetic improvement on water use efficiency (WUE), and then discusses knowledge gaps and ...

Irrigation application in cotton crops is traditionally discharged at a constant rate for an entire field. However, not all plants in a crop may require the same amount of water due to the stochastic nature of the crop response and the spatial variability of environmental factors within the field. Control strategies are required to effectively manage spatially and temporally varied irrigation a...

an important problem in performance evaluations of irrigation systems is the difficulty of the determining share of structural and operational elements and determining improvement solutions. in most studies, the combined impact of structural and operational elements on the performance of irrigation systems is assessed. some researchers try to separate the effects of structural and operational e...

water scarcity is a major factor for limiting crop growth and development in arid and semi-arid regions. in order to study the effects of varying timing and severity of water deficit on mung bean phenological traits, a field experiment was carried out during 2009 growing season at agricultural research institute of zabol university. the experiment was laid out in split plot by using a randomize...
