Soil moisture monitoring and the characterization of the spatial and temporal variability of this hydrologic parameter at scales from small catchments to large river basins continues to receive much attention, reflecting its critical role in subsurface – land surface – atmosphere interactions and its importance to drought analysis, crop yield forecasting, irrigation planning, flood protection, ...

Thirteen million [corrected] metric tons of poultry litter are produced annually by poultry producers in the U.S. Poultry litter contains the sex hormones estradiol and testosterone, endocrine disruptors that have been detected in surface waters. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential impact of poultry litter applications on estradiol and testosterone concentrations in subsur...

in order to investigate the effect of soil matric potential and tube layout on yield and water use efficiency of greenhouse cucumber, a field experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2012 growing seasons at an experimental farm in jiroft territory. the treatments were laid out in strip split plot a randomized complete block design with three replications. the treatments were comprised of fore...

Irrigation of rice fields in Bangladesh with arsenic-contaminated groundwater transfers tens of cubic kilometers of water and thousands of tons of arsenic from aquifers to rice fields each year. Here we combine observations of infiltration patterns with measurements of porewater chemical composition from our field site in Munshiganj Bangladesh to characterize the mobility of arsenic in soils be...

Spreading of urban wastewater on agricultural land may lead to concomitant input of organic and inorganic pollutants. Such multiple pollution sites offer unique opportunities to study the fate of both heavy metals and pharmaceuticals. We examined the occurrence and fate of selected antibiotics in sandy-textured soils, sampled four years after cessation of 100 years irrigation with urban wastewa...

This corn intensification study was conducted under subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) from 2017 to 2021 at the Kansas State University Northwest Research-Extension Center near Colby, KS. Two hybrids (Pioneer 1151 and Pioneer 11197) were grown with advanced fertilization three plant densities (42,000, 38,000, 34,000 plants/a) using levels (115, 100, or 85% of calculated well-watered ET minus rain...

The main purpose of this review is to find the diversity in research studies subsurface irrigation systems past two decades. Two periods five years were selected reflect at beginning and end comparing range. A statistical sorting was used investigate distribution papers according objectives, types systems, methods, limitations studies. Results showed that measurements evaluations most presented...
