in this study, the effect of furrow firming rollers were investigated to improve furrow irrigation parameters such as: advance time, runoff, deep percolation and irrigation efficiency (application efficiency) in the roller treatments, nonroller treatments (traditional) and treatment of including compacted with tractor wheel in the miandab agriculctural station in west azerbaijan during 2001-200...

deficit- irrigation is one of the measures for water saving and optimum application of water in surface irrigation. however, lack of enough evidences, doubts on the proper application of deficit- irrigation, dissemination of research results and its application by the farmers are of practical challenging issues. this paper summarizes and analyzes some research results on deficit- irrigation in ...

One of the effective steps in use of water resources is accurate estimation of plants water requirement. Lack of accurate estimation of this amount leads to water loss and failure to achieve optimum yield, reduced potential of production, soil resources degradation by too much irrigation or lack of enough leaching and salinization of soils by irrigation less than necessary level, which would ul...

Increasing irrigation levels from 37% to 84% of Class "A" Pan evaporation produced a linear increase in cane yield from 65 to 146 tonslha. The response with burnt cane was greater due to more severe moisture stress, and there was also an increase in cane yield between 84% and 100% Pan which was absent in trashed cane. Maximum sucrose content, as well as brix, purity and recoverable sugar % cane...

Crop and irrigation water use efficiencies may be improved by managing irrigation application timing and volumes using physical and agronomic principles. However, the crop water requirement may be spatially variable due to different soil properties and genetic variations in the crop across the field. Adaptive control strategies can be used to locally control water applications in response to in...
