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...

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...

todays, productivity and efficiency of irrigation have been in the center of the many water-related issues. by using sprinkler irrigation systems in addition to watering easier and automatic, that is a device for raising water application uniformity and efficiency which ultimately will save water consumption and production increase. in this study, four fixed irrigation systems of khorramabad ci...

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...

The improvement of irrigation systems in the Nile Delta is one of the most important attempts in Egypt to implement more effective irrigation technology by improving the existing irrigation networks. Demand delivery system in the existing irrigation network is using of mechanical gates structures to automatically divert water from one portion of an agricultural field to another in the desired a...

in order to improve the efficiency of irrigation systems and investigate their impact on the pest population levels, furrow and sprinkler irrigation systems were compared in sugar beet fields. in this study, three different fields were chosen and irrigated by one of the furrow, classic and center pivot irrigation systems.  in each field, 20 plots were randomly selected of which 10 plots were ma...
