At present and more so in the future, irrigated agriculture will take place under water scarcity. Insufficient water supply for irrigation will be the norm rather than the exception, and irrigation management will shift from emphasizing production per unit area towards maximizing the production per unit of water consumed, the water productivity. To cope with scarce supplies, deficit irrigation,...

Surface irrigation is the dominant method of on-farm irrigation in Egypt as well as world wide. Furrow watering is considered as one of the main types of surface irrigation. Most of the cultivated crops are grown under such type of watering. The principal advantage of furrow irrigation is the less irrigated area comparing with that under basin irrigation which equaled total cultivated acreage. ...

To improve the management of irrigation district is a key to develop water-saving agriculture. Based on the basic principles of water-saving irrigation, and using the method of Modified Penman Monteith and water balance equation, The system of irrigation management and decision support based on WEBGIS was developed,which is according to the soil moisture, crop growth status, meteorology change ...

The objective of this research was to improve the accuracy and representativeness experimental plot studies by determining optimum area replication number for winter wheat with border irrigation. Considering spatial distribution soil water content, effect in relation crop growth, lateral seepage water, we sought study optimize specifications irrigation experiment plots different levels replicat...

Plastic mulch and drip irrigation are commonly used in high intensity vegetable production regions such as Florida. Drip irrigation can be much more efficient than sprinkler irrigation since only the root zone of the cropped area is irrigated. However, improper irrigation management can lead to wasted water and leaching of soluble chemicals such as nitrate. In this project, several irrigation t...

BACKGROUND The established treatment for bacterial arthritis of the knee joint is arthroscopic surgery with irrigation and debridement. The aim of this article is to summarize the relevant data in treating bacterial arthritis of the knee joint, and based on these findings to present a novel irrigation suction system, tested in a cadaver study, as an additional tool in the postoperative treatmen...

Drip irrigation can reduce water and fertilizer use; however, the frequency of topdressing required for drip wheat in Huang-Huai-Hai region is still unclear. Through two continuous season field experiments, yield related traits under traditional surface (border irrigation) three fertilization frequencies (DF2, DF3, DF4, that was, twice, or four times same way during growth period) cultivars (Ji...

The idea of irrigation is not new, irrigation stems as far back as the Egyptians and probably further in unrecorded history. Even the idea of automated irrigation is not new, mankind has figured out how to irrigate large areas of foliage through the use of automated and drop irrigation systems. Efficient, automated irrigation systems, which can irrigate plants to a desired level and supply thos...

In Lote Bravo (2005), What Else Could We Talk About? Cleaning (2009), and Irrigation (2010), contemporary Mexican artist Teresa Margolles exposes denounces the política de negación, or politics of denial, that conceals disregards violence precarious conditions define life along US border in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. Here, neoliberal rationality has empowered a corrupt political economic...

Many factors affecting irrigation model, including irrigation water volume, crop water requirement, production function of irrigation water, rainfall, soil water balance, water sensitive index in different stages of crop growth, the grain market price, irrigation water price, minimum yield, irrigation cost etc are considered. Then a multi-constraints and non-linear optimization irrigation model...
