Modelling irrigation scheduling to analyse water management at farm level, during water shortages
The area under irrigated corn has significantly increased in the Charente river basin during the last 10 years. Corn water requirements are maximum in the summer, the period with low water flows and highest environmental vulnerability. Periods of water shortage during which irrigation is temporarily forbidden occur frequently. To reduce water demand, specific water saving policies are required....
متن کاملFARM WATER AND RURAL POVERTY REDUCTION IN DEVELOPING ASIAy
The study on ‘‘pro-poor intervention strategies in irrigated agriculture in Asia’’ by Hussain (2005) shows that, in 26 major and medium-size canal irrigation schemes in Asia, irrigated areas average 20% lower poverty than adjacent rainfed areas; gains are more with pro-poor management of water for farming (PPMWF) and where distribution of farmland or farm water is more equal. These findings, an...
متن کاملWater-deficit Stress in Cotton
Water deficit is the major abiotic factor limiting plant growth and crop productivity around the world (Kramer, 1983). Approximately one third of the cultivated area of the world suffers from chronically inadequate supplies of water (Massacci et al., 2008). In all agricultural regions, yields of rain-fed crops are periodically reduced by drought (Kramer, 1983), and the severity of the problem m...
متن کاملOverview of food- and water-borne zoonotic parasites at the farm level.
Zoonotic parasites found in food animals include a wide variety of protozoa, nematodes, trematodes, and cestodes. Many of these parasites are emerging or already occur globally due to changes in farming practices and the increased movement of animals, food, and people. Some of the emerging or ubiquitous parasites, including Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidium, Trichinella, and Taenia, present enormous ...
متن کاملConsideration of Water Productivity for Farm Water Management in Different Conditions of Water Availability for Dominant Summer Crops
ABSTRACT- Efficient use of irrigation water for summer crops should be considered seriously due to rare occurrence of precipitation in summer. This research was focused on the assessment of water use efficiency for dominant crops of summer cropping pattern in the study area (i.e., maize and rice) via considering water productivity (WP) with different water management scenarios at farm level at ...
