unsustainable harvesting of agricultural water resources in the province of kerman, has caused an annual average of one-meter drop in ground water levels. surface irrigation methods in pistachio trees have low efficiency because of inherent characteristics and its incorrect application, as well as low access to water resource in pistachio regions. therefore under the current critical condition,...

Irrigation scheduling is an important issue for crop management, in a general context of limited water resources and increasing concern about agricultural productivity. Methods to optimize crop irrigation should take into account the impact of water stress on plant growth and the water balance in the plant-soil-atmosphere system. In this article, we propose a methodology to solve the irrigation...

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...

Introduction This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two activated irrigation techniques in removing the smear layer after single-file reciprocating instrumentation in curved canals. Materials and Methods Sixty distobuccal roots of maxillary molars were standardized to create a closed system, and then instrumented using WaveOne Primary (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) in...

BACKGROUND Although the use of potable water for wound irrigation is attractive in an austere environment, its effectiveness has not been tested. We sought to compare the effectiveness of potable water irrigation in reducing bacterial number with that of normal saline irrigation. METHODS We used an established caprine model involving the creation of a reproducible complex musculoskeletal woun...

Introduction. This experimental study is to compare radiographs based on the penetration depth of the irrigant following three final irrigation techniques. Material and Method. A sample of sixty teeth with single roots were prepared with stainless steel K files followed by mechanized Ni-Ti files iRace® under irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. Radiopaque solution was utilized to measure t...

A basic system dynamics model for collective irrigation management is proposed, which is aimed at improving the understanding of dynamic processes in collective irrigation systems. In particular, the problem of free-riding on water in irrigation systems is addressed. A feedback system is introduced, which builds on the concept of a critical mass and integrates a number of influence factors that...

Abstract. Based on the problems caused by current automatic irrigation system with a large number of cables, such as installation, maintenance, and difficult expansion, this paper proposed a wireless integrated irrigation control system and developed a wireless intelligent valve controller which can satisfy the requirements for agricultural irrigation in our country. The controller consisted o...

to evaluate the effects of biological phosphorous, chemical fertilizers and limited irrigation regime on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two different grain sorghum cultivars (kimiya and speedeh), this experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments were arranged as split split plot...
