Improving the adaptive capacity of small-scale irrigation systems to the impacts of climate change is crucial for food security in Asia. This study analyzes the capacity of small-scale irrigation systems dependent on the Asian monsoon to adapt to variability in river discharge caused by climate change. Our study is motivated by the Pumpa irrigation system, a small-scale irrigation system locate...

Ground-based remotely sensed data were used in two major approaches to estimate crop coefficient and evapotranspiration (ET) over two treatments of limited-irrigation corn in northeastern Colorado. The first approach, known as the reflectance-based crop coefficient, takes advantage of the unique relationship between crop coefficients (Kc) and vegetation indices of agricultural crops. The second...

INTRODUCTION Numerous surgical techniques for inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) have been reported, each with advantages and disadvantages. Submucosal turbinoplasty with removal of the bony component of the inferior turbinate (IT) is an excellent procedure to expand the nasal cavity. However, this procedure requires a large incision to remove the inferior turbinate bone (ITB) and is associat...

background: the purpose of this study was to compare the effi cacy of endovac irrigation system and side-vented closed ended needle (max-i probe) in removing smear layer from root canals at 1 mm and 3 mm from working length using protaper rotary instrumentation. materials and methods: a total of 50 freshly extracted maxillary central incisors were randomly divided into two groups after complete...

in this study, the effect of drought and different concentrations of silicon was examined on seed yield, essential oil percentage and physio-chemicals properties in fennel plant. the experimental design was a split plot with three irrigation regimes: irrigation at 100, 70 and 40 percent of fc comprising the main treatments, and five levels of silicon foliar sprays (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mm) as ...

The effects of soybean seeding rates on evapotranspiration (ETc) and grass- alfalfa-reference crop coefficients (Kco Kcr) were investigated under five (185,250, 247,000, 308,750, 370,500 432,250 seeds ha−1) (62, 82, 103, 124 144% the recommended rate 300,000 ha−1 in experimental region) different irrigation strategies (i.e. full treatment [FIT], limited 75% FIT 50% rainfed treatment). Kco Kcr v...

Irrigation management has gained significance due to growing social needs and increasing command for food grains while the available resources have remained limited and scarce. Irrigation management includes optimal allocation of water for irrigation purposes, optimal cropping pattern for a given land area and water availabilities with an objective to maximize economic returns. In the present s...
