in order to investigate the effect of soil matric potential and tube layout on yield and water use efficiency of greenhouse cucumber, a field experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2012 growing seasons at an experimental farm in jiroft territory. the treatments were laid out in strip split plot a randomized complete block design with three replications. the treatments were comprised of fore...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of different soil water potential (SWP) on soil water content, hot pepper’s yield, water consumption and water use efficiency (WUE) under plastic-mulched drip irrigation in the North-West China in order to find a suitable SWP to guide the pepper irrigation. Five treatments were set based on SWP, they were -10kPa (N1), -20kPa (N2), -30kPa (N3), -4...

The effect of irrigation on the abundance of Empoasca vitis (Göthe) populations was investigated in four vineyards located in northeastern Italy. In two experiments, we compared leafhopper population densities in plots irrigated (micro-spray irrigation system) or nonirrigated. In another experiment, we studied the effect of various irrigation systems on E. vitis populations over two successive ...

Earthworms (EWs) could be a viable indicator of soil biology and agri-food system management. The influence climate-smart agriculture (CSA)-based sustainable intensification practices (zero tillage, crop rotations, residue retention, precision water nutrients application) on earthworms’ populations physico-biochemical properties rice-wheat cropping in the Indo-Gangetic plains South Asia was inv...

to evaluate the effect of water, tape drip and furrow irrigation methods on the performance components and features of agria cultivar potato, an experiment was carried out in the agriculture faculty of kermanshah. repeated three times, this study was carried out in the form of full random blocks with the main factor of different amounts of irrigation water in three levels (50, 75, and100 percen...

To ameliorate soil oxygen deficiencies around subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) drippers, aerated (AI) was introduced to supply water the through venturi installed in SDI pipeline. The objectives of this study were investigate effect AI on respiration rate and mechanism regulation. Daejeon experiment included two treatments: unaerated as a control check (CK), used National Soil Quality Zhanjiang...

Furrow irrigation is the most common method of irrigating pistachio orchards in Iran. Water use efficiency using this close to 35%. Ten years ago, a subsurface drip (SDI) project was initiated with highly saline and alkaline water for first time Iran at Feyzabad research station, 34̊ 54ʹ 15ʺ N, 58̊ 45ʹ 37ʺ E, located northeast Iran, an altitude 850 meters from sea. The salinity sodium adsorption ...

Delineating the depth and extent of the watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thumb.) Matsum. & Nak.] root zone assists with proper irrigation management and minimizes nutrient leaching. The objective of this 3-year field study was to measure root distribution and root length density of watermelon (cv. Wrigley) grafted on two different rootstocks (Lagenaria siceraria cv. ‘FR Strong’ and Cucurbita mosc...

[1] In this study, two parameterizations for different irrigation techniques have been implemented in a regional climate model. These implementations allow for a comparative study of water use and land–atmosphere interactions associated with traditional flood irrigation—a widespread but highly water-inefficient practice—and water-conserving drip irrigation. Both parameterizations yield realisti...

Plastic mulching with drip irrigation is a new water-saving rice cultivation technology, but little is known on its productivity and water-saving capacity. This study aimed to assess the production potential, performance, and water use efficiency (WUE) of rice under plastic mulching with drip irrigation. Field experiments were conducted over 2 years with two rice cultivars under different culti...
