Crop Yield and Water Requirement Relationships for Major Irrigated Crops in Southern Alberta

Water requirement of crops in Khuzestan province

One of the effective steps in use of water resources is accurate estimation of plants water requirement. Lack of accurate estimation of this amount leads to water loss and failure to achieve optimum yield, reduced potential of production, soil resources degradation by too much irrigation or lack of enough leaching and salinization of soils by irrigation less than necessary level, which would ul...

Determination and Evaluation of Potential Water Use Efficiency and Comparative Advantage of Major Irrigated Crops in Several Provinces of Iran

There are new technologies such as geographic information systems (GIS) that can be effective in the optimization of irrigation water. Therefore, utilizing these resources in a desirable, effective and efficient manner to ensure sustainable development is one of the most important issues in the today's world. The aim of this study was to determine and evaluate the potential water use efficiency...

Relationships between crop water stress index evapotaranspiration and yield of sweet lime

Classification of Crop Yield Variability in Irrigated Production Fields

yield map represent grain mixed from a certain area, and some uncertainty is associated with the exact size Crop yield maps reflect stable yield patterns and annual random and geographical location of this area as well as meayield variation. Procedures for classifying a sequence of yield maps surement error. For the same location, this uncertainty to delineate yield zones were evaluated in two ...

Impacts of gypsum and winter cover crops on soil physical properties and crop productivity when irrigated with saline water

Reuse of saline subsurface drainage water for irrigation has been identi®ed as a potential option for managing drainage volumes and sustaining crop productivity in California's San Joaquin Valley. Soil surface structural instability, crusting and poor stand establishment may, however, be constraints in drainage reuse systems. The objective of this ®eld study was to evaluate the effectiveness of...
