powdery mildew of sugar beet is a common disease in many sugar beet growing areas causing root yield and sugar content reduction. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different irrigation methods on powdery mildew severity in sugar beet. eight susceptible and resistant commercial cultivars were evaluated under sprinkler and furrow irrigation systems in a randomized complete bloc...

Investigation of different irrigation methods on plants is necessary due to limited water resources and the increasing need for food products. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of sprinkler and drip irrigation systems and hormones on morphological and physiological characteristics of potato. Treatments included sprinkler and drip irrigation systems and hormones (gibbere...

The return of socio-economic prosperity in the population and developed countries world has increased demand for agricultural products. It increases need water production conditions to meet increasing demand. Irrigation methods irrigation systems are needed water. As a matter fact, which method or system is chosen study researches cost calculations. In this study, comparative economic analysis ...

abstract- efficient use of irrigation water for summer crops should be considered seriously due to rare occurrence of precipitation in summer. this research was focused on the assessment of water use efficiency for dominant crops of summer cropping pattern in the study area (i.e., maize and rice) via considering water productivity (wp) with different water management scenarios at farm level at ...

A proper understanding of factors affecting evaporation and drift losses in sprinkle irrigation is important for developing water conservation strategies. For estimating drift and evaporation losses during the set sprinkler irrigation event, several outdoor single-sprinkler and block irrigation tests have been conducted. Various sprinkler±nozzle±riser height combinations were used and the varia...

the scarcity of irrigation water and decrease of water resources are the most important limiting factors in crop production in countries such as iran. thus, studying the optimum use of water and increasing water use efficiency are essential to the agricultural sector. the use of a low pressure hydroflume has been suggested to replace traditional surface irrigation methods. the aim of this resea...

This study investigates which factors may influence producers’ use of irrigation technologies and/or water management practices (WMPs). One major finding is that Arkansas producers are more likely to rely on WMPs instead of sprinkler irrigation as a response to changes in depth to water and drought occurrences. This finding highlights the importance of expanding the existing literature that foc...

Understanding the soil-water dynamics and maize evapotranspiration (ETc) under variable rate irrigation (VRI) fertigation (VRF) management with respect to soil spatial variability constitutes basis for developing effective water nitrogen strategies. This long-term research was designed quantify compare dynamics, including available (AW), ETc during vegetative reproductive growth periods of VRI,...

the importance of groundwater as a source of water supply in arid, semi –arid areas in recent years due to the uncontrolled exploitation of groundwater have been doubled. uncontrolled exploitation has been caused a drop in the water table in many areas of the country, including this region. with replace methods of modern irrigation instead of traditional irrigation methods can prevent drop the ...
