Water demand for irrigation in the Southeast is expected to increase in the future. There is a need to combine climate information and risk analysis for peanut irrigation in the southeastern US. This paper describes a peanut irrigation decision support system which was developed to assist growers and to provide information on the levels of profitability of peanut production with and without irr...

At present, irrigation decision-making systems applied to the field of agriculture were mostly aimed at a given area and specific crops. It was difficult to be applied in different areas and different crops. In this paper, a precision irrigation decision-making system has done something to solve this problem. The paper, on the one hand, has synthesized multi-areas and multi-crops in one decisio...

Many agricultural fields across the country have a high degree of variability in soil type and water holding capacity that affects irrigation management. One way to overcome problems associated with the field variability for improving irrigation management is to utilize a site-specific irrigation system. This system applies water to match the needs of individual management zones within a field....

In surface irrigation, the soil serves as a medium for infiltration and conveying water from upstream to the downstream end of a field. In this study, infiltration properties of the Sibaya (Si) soil series (Glenrosa in the South African soil classification system) were determined by a volume balance method using a two-point approach technique. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect ...

A new device for irrigation, which presents hydrodynamic activation based on the pressure-suction technology, has recently been introduced to the market: the RinsEndo system. This study compared the efficacy of the RinsEndo system and conventional (manual-dynamic) irrigation in the removal of debris from the root canal walls, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Twenty mandibular premolars...

As an initial effort to understand the Asian irrigation systems dynamism and their robustness overtime, this paper examines two irrigation systems of Kok river system within Mekong river basin in Northern Thailand in the context of changing governance mechanisms and evolution of technological and market forces. Since the processes involved in first starting collective action are different than ...

Irrigation procedures are based on farmer’s experience, soil properties and environmental conditions that are affected by changes in environmental conditions. Wireless sensor network is a solution for monitoring environmental conditions and efficient utilization of water. In this paper, an effective irrigation management system is presented for the container grown crops. It utilizes wireless se...
