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...

Distributed irrigation systems are those in which the water access (via pump or human power), distribution (via furrow, watering can, sprinkler, drip lines, etc.), and use all occur at or near the same location. Distributed systems are typically privately owned and managed by individuals or groups, in contrast to centralized irrigation systems, which tend to be publicly operated and involve lar...

Most species of Cucurbitaceae respond favorably to irrigation, especially when combined with fertilizers. The effect drip irrigation nitrogen fertigation in melon grown on a very light soil Central Poland, during 2013–2015, was evaluated. field experimental design split-plot four replications. Two factors were studied: (1) treatments applied two combinations—drip + broadcast fertilization (cont...

Abstract Drip irrigation systems are widely used worldwide to satisfy the water demand of agricultural crops. It is known that drip technology has a number other advantages, such as intensive irrigation, automation, and economical benefits. The methods which available in hydraulics calculation design. One most important issues system correct estimation discharge coming out drippers. As from hyd...

Coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) may be a potentially important source of bio-based energy in the southern US due to its vast acreage. It is often produced as part of a waste management plan with varying nutrient composition and energy characteristics on fields irrigated with livestock wastewater. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of subsurface drip irrigation wi...

Soil and water resources can be severely degraded by salinity when total salt input exceeds output in irrigated agriculture. This study was conducted to examine partitioning of Ca2+, Na+, and Cl- between soil and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants under different irrigation regimes with both field and modeling assessments. In drip and sprinkler treatments, the irrigation water was salinize...
