for the proper use of water resources in agriculture, it is necessary to provide appropriate irrigation system to supply crop water requirement. in the present research, using a hierarchical analysis, different types of irrigation systems were evaluated and prioritized on 1150 hectares of agricultural land of etka organization ​​ located in dorud, iran. hierarchical analysis process is one of t...

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...

In this study was examined the factors affecting the unwillingness to adopt pressurized irrigation methods among farmers' groups (with different levels of drought) in Ardabil province (Iran). Mixed method (Qualitative – Quantitative paradigm) was used for doing this research. First, by drought zoning of Ardabil province (by SPI method and GIS), three regions included the mild, moderate and seve...

introduction: designing and management of sprinkler irrigation systems depend on the situation and location of its implementation and often rely on professional and long-term tests (9). having a good irrigation system depends on knowledge of the relationship between soil, water, plants, irrigation scheduling, the required amount of irrigation water to the water-holding capacity of soil, climate...

Bagherzadeh A., Paymard P. (2015): Assessment of land capability for different irrigation systems by parametric and fuzzy approaches in the Mashhad Plain, northeast Iran. Soil & Water Res., 10: 90–98. Water quality and quantity in agricultural systems of arid and semiarid regions of the world are of great importance. In this regard the trend to pressurized irrigation systems compared to surface...

Drip irrigation systems offer the potential for efficient irrigation of high value crops and have proven feasible from engineering and agronomic standpoints in the northern Great Plains. However, little information is available in this region regarding the optimum design and economics of these systems. The objective of this study was to develop a computerized model for design and economic optim...
