This study investigated the interactive effects of different rates of deficit irrigation and timings of N application on wheat and barley yields since there was no report on this important subject. Field experiments in strip-plot designs using sprinkler line sources were conducted for two years at a semi-arid Mediterranean site. The experiments consisted of 4 and 7 irrigation levels with 3 and ...

8 The modernization of irrigation districts in Spain is based on the construction of 9 collective pressurized networks equipped with remote control systems. In this paper, a 10 simulation approach is used to explore the benefits of introducing a collective solid-set 11 irrigation control software. The controller works in combination with a district 12 management database, real time evapotranspi...

Recent work at Clemson University has provided 32 new data sets of ammonia volatilization losses during sprinkler irrigation of liquid manure. These 32 observations were pooled with 23 additional data sets that were available in the literature. The combined data includes losses from traveling gun, center pivot, and impact sprinkler irrigation of dairy, swine, and beef manure. Manure type did no...

Since being released 40 years ago, computer spreadsheets have proven to be worthwhile for use in educational contexts. There is plenty of evidence this practically every scientific discipline and engineering field. In view on fact, the present work exposes a didactical resource, named sprinkler irrigation tool, developed Excel® spreadsheet licensed by 2018 Microsoft©. The objective tool offer a...

Literature regarding evaporation from soil, wet plant surfaces, and sprinkler droplets was examined, normalized, and inter­ preted. Much of the evaporation literature is difficult to compare and interpret; this paper offers comparisons and discussions of various findings by others as well as by the writers. Techniques of measuring and estimating evaporation from irrigation and rainfall are disc...

Irrigation can provide significant agronomic and financial returns on agricultural activity. The maximization of the benefits obtained from irrigation depends, among other factors, water use efficiency, which is intrinsically related to application uniformity. For sprinkler method, uniformity assessment based results labor-intensive field tests in two-dimensional distribution pattern measured a...

The article presents the results of research on effect sprinkling structural and aggregate composition soil its density. high quality irrigation is achieved with uniform distribution rain over area, acceptable intensity drop diameter impact force, at which plants structure are not damaged, puddles surface runoff formed. For complete absorption water into preservation low intensity, small drops ...
