Preliminary surface topographical characteristics of biofilms attached on drip irrigation emitters using reclaimed water

Biofilm Accumulation and Structure in the Flow Path of Drip Emitters Using Reclaimed Wastewater

Biofouling has been identified as a major contributor to emitter clogging in drip irrigation systems that distribute reclaimed wastewater. Two types of drip emitters were evaluated for use with reclaimed wastewater. Microbial biofilm accumulations, including proteins, polysaccharides, and phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), were tested to determine the biofilm development and diversity in the emi...

Using Irrigation to Manage Weeds: A Focus on Drip Irrigation

Effects of salinity and irrigation water management on soil and tomato in drip irrigation

In this research, the effects of irrigation with saline and fresh water through drip irrigation method and using two irrigation management strategies: M1, M2 (M1 is irrigation with fresh water in alternative with saline water, M2 is saline water in first half time of each irrigation event and fresh water in the second half), on the yield, water productivity (WP), soil salinity, plant height...

Comparison of Variations of Water Stress Index of Chika Bean Plant under Surface Irrigation and Drip Tape Irrigation using Infrared Thermometer

The Plant Water Resistance Index (CWSI) is a tool that can be used for the rapid monitoring of plant water status, which is a key requirement for the accurate product irrigation management.The purpose of this study was to calculate the CWSI index for bean hares in the Khorramabad region for two methods of surface irrigation and drip tape ‎irrigation. For this purpose, a design was implemented i...

The Effect of Different Traits on Yield and Water Productivity in Surface and Subsurface Drip Irrigation of Kabkab Variety

Increasing crop production per unit volume of water consumption requires recognizing the most dependent variable in drip irrigation to the volume of water consumption and also identifying the most important variables independent of water productivity in surface and subsurface drip irrigation for optimal use of available water resources. The present research was carried out in Behbahan Agricultu...
