Idaho is a major malt barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) producer in the United States. Production concentrated semi-arid Snake River Plain region of southern Idaho. Irrigation and fertilizer N applications are two most important managed factors. Research was conducted at University Kimberly & Extension Center near Kimberly, ID, to determine yield, grain quality, characteristics as affected by applica...

This study was conducted to assess the effects of irrigation and plant growth promoting bactera on seed yield and qualitative characteristics of Black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) at the Experimental Station of the Research Institute of Forest and Rangeland, Damavan region, Iran. A split-plot experimental design, based on Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications, was used. I...

We evaluated the usefulness of periodic abdominal irrigation through the peritoneal catheter preserved after termination of peritoneal dialysis (PD) to prevent encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS). The study group included 8 ̊patients in whom PD had been terminated (mean age: 53.1 ±̊ 7.1 ̊years; mean PD duration: 119.6 ±̊ 37.8 ̊months). The abdominal cavity was periodically irrigated through the...

Although the term precision irrigation is now quite widely used, often to mean drip irrigation, there is no commonly accepted definition or conceptualisation of the term, and no cohesive framework to guide research, development or adoption. This paper is reporting on a review of precision irrigation funded by NPSI. This review is considering the role of current irrigation application technologi...
