Subsurface drip irrigation is defined as application of water below the soil surface through emitters, with discharge rates generally in the same range as surface drip irrigation. It has many advantages over surface drip. To see the response of subsurface drip irrigation on okra yield, a study was conducted at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India during 2003 and 2004. Okra (...

Reclaimed water (RW) is increasingly viewed as a valuable resource for supplying irrigation water and nutrients for landscape plants growing in urban environments. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine if nitrogen (N) in RW contributes significantly to turfgrass plant nutrition and to measure N use efficiency and the effects of irrigation with RW on N leaching. The factorial experi...

In the face of increasing urbanization, there is growing interest in application of microscale hydrologic solutions to minimize storm runoff and conserve water at the source. In this study, a physically based numerical model was developed to understand hydrologic processes better at the urban residential scale and the interaction of these processes among different best management practices (BMP...

To evaluate the effects of iron application on growth characters of Calendula officinalis L. under end season water deficit condition, an experiment was conducted as split plot at the Research Farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Urmia University (latitude 37.53°N, 45.08°E and 1320m above sea level), Urmia, Iran in 2010. Treatments were irrigation (irrigation disruption at first, second, third harve...

in order to study the effect of water deficit stress and different nitrogen levels on flower yield, yield components and water use efficiency of calendula officinalis l., an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications, at research field of islamic azad university, birjand branch in 2009. in this experiment, irrigation treatments (irri...

The main objective of this work is to apply the hedonic pricing method using the methodology of spatial econometrics in order to assess the economic value of irrigation water, as one of the individual attributes of the value of agricultural land parcels. Most of the agricultural land’s value attributes, like neighbor characteristics as well as the availability of irrigation water, exhibit a spa...

Increasing water use efficiency and reducing nitrogen pollutant discharge are important tasks for modern agriculture. To evaluate the effect of alternate partial root-zone irrigation (APRI) on tomato plant growth, water use efficiency and nitrate-15N uptake, an experiment was conducted from June to December in 2014 under greenhouse condition in northern China. The experiment contained two irrig...
