For centuries, farmers have relied on intuition, experience, and a hint of superstition to nurture their crops. While time-honored technologies still have value, the modern agricultural landscape has a powerful ally: precision agriculture. At the heart of this revolution is a silent orchestra of information-gathering heroes: soil sensor. Whispering wisdom from the earth: Gone are the days of ...
The two systems were designed and installed by Center for Irrigation Technology (CIT) staff and operated and maintained by Plant Operation personnel of CSUF. Keywords. landscape, microirrigation, turf, grass, uniformity Overview of Subsurface Drip Irrigation Systems The application of SDI on turfgrass requires placing drip emitters and drip lines in close proximity to provide ...
The project shall provide annual irrigation benefits in the Baran, Jhalawar & Kota Districts of Rajathan. The scope of the project includes construction of feeder canals from the Left Manin Canal (LMC) to Kalisindh & Ujjar River and from the Right Main Canal (RMS) to Parbati River. These Feeder canals shall revive the water availability in the Rivers and Anicuts fro the irrigation system ...

Almonds are an agricultural success story for California, but can their cultivation be sustained as the state enters a new drought? As California heads into another drought and a future that by all estimates will see even less precipitation and more human demand for water, every drop is important. From taking showers measured in seconds to letting lawns turn brown, to dedicating billions of ...
Micro-irrigation with treated wastewater has the potential to be the most efficient irrigation technique, especially in water scarce areas. Its main disadvantage is the high sensitivity of the drippers to clog. This study focused only on the chemical precipitation mechanisms. In a batch chemical process in parallel with PHREEQC software, two temperatures (22 and 55°C), four pHs (8, 8.5, 9 and ...
Energy saving and maximum efficiency are the cardinal points of agriculture 2.0. Today, through the micro irrigation and subsurface irrigation, agricultural production reached a high level of efficiency that assures quality and quantity. “Micro-irrigation”, or drip irrigation, is a method which allows the farmer to give the same amount of water to the roots of each plant, without ...
Le Verger de la Blottière is a family-run company located in Maine-et-Loire in western France, which has been producing highly valued and quality apples and pears for three generations. Le Verger de la Blottière produces 20 different varieties of apples and pears, all valued for their taste and aromatic properties, where the notable Antares apple merits mention, which was created ...
Drip irrigation is one of the most cost-effective and efficient watering methods in agriculture. It has become incredibly popular in the past 50-years and has been widely adopted by agriculturalists in dozens of countries throughout the world. In simple term, drip irrigation works by sending water through plastic pipes into drip emitters. These emitters are specifically designed to release water ...
Jain Irrigation Systems Limited is a leader in the micro irrigation industry. Honoured with numerous recognitions worldwide, the organisation has diverse solutions in the segments of: irrigation, plastic pipes, agro products, fruit processing, plant genetics and non-conventional energy sources. The biogas based power generation facility at Jain Irrigation’s Jalgaon plant displays efficient ...
Irrigation systems world wide are dependent on sound pressure management techniques which are normally incorporated at the design phase of the project. This holds true whether you are designing agricultural irrigation systems incorporating drip, micro spray, sprinkler or pivot systems and has similar ramifications for turf irrigation or even golf course irrigation systems. Automatic Control ...
Crop evapotranspiration is the most important parameter for management of irrigation systems in greenhouses. This study was conducted to determine the evapotranspiration of cucumber, tomato and peppers, using micro–lysimeter during seven months in a greenhouse located in central region of Iran. Reference evapotranspiration estimated using drainage lysimeters and the water balance of soil ...
Abstract An 18–month field evaluation of four micro–irrigation "drip" treatment and disposal systems was conducted to determine if reducing the separation distance between the bottom of the drip–line and the seasonal high water table (limiting condition) could be reduced from 18 inches to 12 inches. In this study three systems did not have advanced treatment while the remaining ...
The interest and growth in microfinance have burgeoned during the last two decades with the involvement of both private and public sector agencies. As a result of the interest in this sector, microfinance services have grown rapidly. However, little attention has been given to the environmental impacts of microcredit, or ways to mitigate those impacts. This is of particular concern in a rural ...
