During hull-split, many growers start to apply regulated deficit irrigation (RDI). Phytech growers can now manage irrigation amounts and frequencies in this sensitive time of the season using an additional newly added tool - the Plant-Dynamic Refill Line. ...

The ecotube was installed in a circular way inside the ground around the stem of the date palms. Since then, this customer has been irrigating exclusively through root irrigation, feeding the water direct where it is needed. The results after one year are extraordinary. He achieved 50% more yield despite the extremely hot climate during the summer month where temperatures reach up to ...
In quality wine grapes, however, the correct level of stress will result in higher quality: Smaller berries, more color and tannins, and higher sugars. To reap the full benefits of regulated deficit irrigation in wine grapes, it is important to dial-in and maintain the appropriate stress level. The Cost of Over-Irrigation ...

Highly technical farmers like the Mullers will implement an irrigation strategy known as Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI) that optimally increases soluble solid content (also known as Brix) through the calculated manipulation of water application. ...

Water is the most valuable asset on earth, which determines to a significant extent the development of life in all corners of the world. 95% of the amount of water on earth is chemically bound in rocks making it impossible to utilize and be part of the hydrological cycle. Of the remaining 5%, 97% is saline found in oceans and seas, while the remaining 3% is distributed: • 2,37% in ...
Agriculture is having an increasing impact on water resources in Spain, both from a quantitative (consumption) and qualitative (pollution) perspective. Therefore, the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) will have a great impact on this sector. In fact, new river management plans aim to reduce these pressures through the implementation of programmes of measures. These instruments ...
This study analyzes the potential for water savings from irrigation efficiency improvements in California, USA. We model water savings associated with three efficiency scenarios in wet, average and dry water years. The ‘efficient irrigation technology’ scenario shifts a fraction of the crops from flood irrigation to sprinkler and drip systems; ...
Subject: Amnite A100 Application: Continental Cucumber Environment: Greenhouse, Plastic Covered Growing System: Hydroponics, Run To Waste Media: Coal Ash Reservoir: Yes, 2.5cm Deep Plant density: 2.5 Plants Per Square Metre Application Frequency: Weekly Application Method: Via Irrigation Lines Direct To Root System Observations Amnite A100 was introduced to the plants on the 25th April. Weather ...
This paper explores the long-term development of irrigation system management, and looks at the influence of legislation, irrigation system size, scalar stress and polarized land tenure in the existence and success of self-management. The case studies are drawn from regions of the former Spanish Empire. Hispanic America, between the 16th and early 19th centuries, as part of the Spanish Empire, ...
The models were calibrated on data from a full irrigation treatment in 2007, and were validated on a full irrigation treatment in 2005 and several deficit irrigation (DI) treatments, including regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) and rain-fed (RF) conditions. ...
Irrigation Communities, a common reference point for Water Users' Associations, are corporate groups that manage irrigation systems under local or indigenous charters. This paper begins by pointing out that local control in irrigation does not necessarily imply effective participatory management. It then undertakes a detailed examination of the internal dynamics of participation in an Irrigation ...
ABSTRACTThe effect of O3/H2O2 liquid phase molar concentration ratio at different pH on cyclophosphamide degradation rate was evaluated. The combination of O3/H2O2 leads to an increase of cyclophosphamide degradation rate, compared with single ozonation at the same pH and ozone dosages. It was found that cyclophosphamide degradation rate with O3/H2O2 depends on pH for the molar concentration ...
