Date Palm - Gafsa, Tunisia - Case Study
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 ...

Creeping bentgrass putting green turf responses to two summer irrigation practices: Rooting and soil temperature
Light and frequent (LF) and deep and infrequent (DI) irrigation are two common practices for golf course managers. Few studies have compared the effects of these two opposing irrigation practices on summer root performance in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.). The objectives of this field study were to quantify summer root development and longevity in response to LF vs. DI irrigation ...

Pig manure organic fertilizer production line has great effect and obvious advantages
In agricultural production activities, the breeding industry is also a group that can not be ignored, and the amount of waste water produced every day is also huge. If we can effectively use these "wastes", it can not only help solve the problem of stacking, but also increase revenue. Take pig manure for example, the use of pig manure organic fertilizer production line can effectively solve the ...

Special features of drip-sprinkler irrigation technology
Irrigation techniques and technology based on principle of regular accumulation of moisture in active layer (surface irrigation, regular sprinkler irrigation) are most common in science and in practice. More progressive is principle of non-stop water supply of plants and soil in conformity to their water consumption. Drip irrigation and impulse sprinkling are based on this principle. The main ...

Root Analysis in the Field: Industries & Uses
Crops, Nutrients, Irrigation & Root Analysis Analysis of the root system is important in ensuring sustainable crop production, reducing nutrient input and irrigation, and protecting soil carbon pools. Getting rapid and frequent images of what is happening underground can help people make timely decisions about agricultural practices to maintain plant health and ensure the judicious use of ...

Avocados in Precision Agriculture
At Pollen Systems, we are always excited to apply our PrecisionView approach to the crops we know and love. One fruit we keep returning to at work (and in our favorite recipes) is the beloved avocado. Adapted to rainforests by nature, avocados grow vigorously and will develop a dense canopy in a relatively short time. This growth habit is a challenge unique to cultivating avocados, as each tree ...

Summer Irrigation Makes the Crop
Summer Irrigation Makes the Crop Summertime. At this point in the growing season, fruit for tree and vine crops has long been set. Now, the challenge is to bring as much of this yield potential to harvest, and at the desired quality. Irrigation management is crucial to achieve this goal. For most crops, irrigation should provide readily available soil moisture continuously so that fruit and ...

Irrigation and Nitrogen Best Management Practices Under Drip Irrigated Vegetable Production
Abstract Plastic mulch and drip irrigation are commonly used in high intensity vegetable production regions such as Florida. Drip irrigation can be much more efficient than sprinkler irrigation since only the root zone of the cropped area is irrigated. However, improper irrigation management can lead to wasted water and leaching of soluble chemicals such as nitrate. In this project, several ...

Arsenic concentrations in irrigation water, soil and selected vegetables in Bangladesh
The effect of Arsenic (As) concentration in irrigation water on As accumulation in six selected vegetables grown during the dry season (December-May) in Bangladesh has been assessed. Three field sites were selected for the assessment, which included two As affected areas (Chandpur and Narayanganj) and one unaffected area (Bogra). The As concentrations in edible parts of the selected vegetables ...

Digging deep for new irrigation methods
Irrigation is essential to increase food production. However, competing needs and increasing drought makes water for irrigation scarce. Therefore, new methods and strategies are continuously being tested by scientists to improve food production, accompanied by better water use efficiency. This article will examine how modern field tools are helping in this venture. Irrigation Methods According ...

Features of impulse sprinkling technology
The principle of non-stop water supply to plants and soil in accordance with their water intake is progressive. Drip irrigation and impulse sprinkling correspond to this principle. Drip irrigation provides optimal water and nutrient regimes directly to the root system of plants. However, this irrigation is not effective enough under conditions of high temperature (over 25–35 °C) as growth ...

Irrigation challenges in the sub-humid US Mid-South
Irrigated area in the Mid-South USA continues to increase and now totals four million ha. Because of low available water holding capacities and shallow root-limiting layers in many soils, irrigation management is difficult. Water quality and water use efficiency impacts under irrigation are poorly understood, but comprehension is necessary if conversion from groundwater to surface water supplies ...

Why Drip Irrigation Design is Crucial to Your Success
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 ...

Root intrusion prevention
Nothing spells the death of a subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system taster than root intrusion. With more growers placing drip irrigation lines below the soil surface, the need for a better understanding of how to keep roots out of drip emitters has also become more important. Work done at The ("enter for Irrigation Technology (GIT) over the past 10 years has given us some insight into how to ...

Subsurface drip irrigation; the future of Irrigation is Underground
Placing water beneath the soil surface via buried lines is slowly becoming the "preferred choice" of many vineyard irrigators. The reasons are many, including the absence of surface evaporation, as well as reduced weed growth, herbicide washout, maintenance, injury, and vandalism found with using conventional water application systems. The advantages of subsurface drip add to reduced cost for ...

Reuse of Dairy Lagoon Wastewater Through SDI in Forage Crops
Abstract California has become the leading dairy products producing state in the USA. This has resulted in farms commonly milking several thousand cows per day. The care and feeding of the animals has produced large waste streams commonly collected and stored in lagoons. Environmentally safe handling and reuse of the lagooned wastewater is the objective of this study. A system of Subsurface Drip ...

Black Gold Farm Case Study
Black Gold Farms is a multi-generation, family owned farming organization that began in North Dakota’s Red River Valley more than 80 years ago. It evolved into a global potato production, sales and service company and industry leader. In combination with its own farms and a network of contracted growers across the USA, Black Gold has 20,000 acres in production and is the nation’s ...

Irrigating with reclaimed water through permanent subsurface drip irrigation systems
ABSTRACT In Hawaii, reclaimed water has been used in agricultural irrigation and the irrigation of golf courses and other large landscaped areas. However, the Hawaii Department of Health's new "Guidelines for the Treatment and Use of Reclaimed Water" published in November 1993, limits uses of reclaimed water through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems. The subsurface drip irrigation concept ...
