abstract in order to estimate the reference evapotranspiration different equation is used. validity of each methods depends upon the climate and the parameters which are used in these equations. therefore it is necessary to calibrate these methods for any specific area and for any desired frequency. in this study common temperature and radiation based methods were used for calculating crop evap...

abstract in order to study the effects of irrigation regimes on physiological traits, yield and water use efficiency of potato (solanum tuberosum l.) in mashhad weather condition, an experiment was conducted in 2009 at research field of the college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, using factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications. experimen...

abstract the most important part of the design and operation of the supplier systems of agricultural water requirement is the estimating of plant water requirement. in this study by using the lars-wg5 model, downscaled the data of hadcm3 model according a1b, a2 and b1 scenarios that confirmed by ipcc, and was simulated monthly amounts of precipitation, minimum temperature, maximum temperature a...

Traditional water-saving irrigation management turns on water pump in a settled interval decided by grower’s experience. The method just saves water on the back of losing yield. In order to result the problem, a kind of greenhouse efficient irrigation management system based on Evapotranspiration has been developed. The system includes greenhouse environmental monitoring subsystem, irrigation a...

In this research, to evaluate the effect of superabsorbent polymer and drought stress on the number and leaf area of Lettuce, experimental  research was conducted in a completely randomized design factorial with two treatments of irrigation regime at three levels (60, 80 and 100 percent of crop water requirement) and four superabsorbent hydrogel application (0, 4, 6 and 8 g per kg of soil) in t...

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...
