The advancement of irrigated agriculture is indispensable to satisfy the growing food demands world's prospering population. It also essential for accomplishing many UN SDGs (United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals) such as SDG1 (No Poverty), SDG2 (Zero Hunger), and SDG15 (Life on Land). Without proper management, however, irrigation can cause twin hydrological problems, i.e., rising aqui...

The studies were carried out at Bessergenevskoe Agricultural Enterprise LLC 2019–2021. laying field experiments soybean crops, recording observations according to methods VNIIMK All-Union Scientific Research ...

introduction soil infiltration rate is the major soil hydraulic property which can be affected by the soil physical characteristics and management practices. the use of land can affect various soil properties such as physical and hydraulic properties. differences of the hydraulic soil characteristics such as infiltration rate in various land uses can affect their potential to runoff production ...

Agricultural degradation areas are increasing worldwide. From them, 56% due to water erosion, 28% wind 12% soil nutrient depletion, salinization, pollution processes, and 4% densification, swamping, subsidence processes. As a result of such negative processes the existence shortage problem in 80 countries world, 7 million hectares arable land withdrawn from agricultural use every year, food sec...

We consider whether current notions about superstring theory below the Planck scale are compatible with cosmology. We find that the anticipated form for the dilaton interaction creates a serious roadblock for inflation and makes it unlikely that the universe ever reaches a state with zero cosmological constant and time-independent gravitational constant. Superstring theories have been extensive...

Advancing land degradation in the irrigated areas of Central Asia hinders sustainable development of this predominantly agricultural region. To support decisions on mitigating cropland degradation, this study combines linear trend analysis and spatial logistic regression modeling to expose a land degradation trend in the Khorezm region, Uzbekistan, and to analyze the causes. Time series of the ...

We propose a Decision Support System (DSS) for optimal cropping patterns and irrigation water management. The development of the DSS has three objectives. The first is to use mathematical models in order to optimize cropping decisions and irrigation policies under shortage of water in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The second is to help growers exploit optimally their lands in places suffering fr...

Regional agricultural projects based on water resource development have many potential impacts on social and natural environments. In this research, potential long-term environmental problems of the Southeastern Anatolian Project (GAP) related to water resources, land use, land degradation, agricultural pollution and demography are analysed from a systems perspective. The analysis focuses on th...
