Field Irrigation Systems are essential in agriculture since they help provide water to plants where rain may be erratic or unavailable. Given the ever-rising population around the globe, food production is on the rise, and thus, there is a need to maximize agricultural production. Therefore, contemporary field irrigation systems have developed as an all-important tool to facilitate crop growth, ...
The irrigation process in agriculture, landscaping, and water management is crucial in its work with climate change-altered efficiency and sustainability. When the global temperature increases, so does the irregular supply of water, which directly affects irrigation systems across different parts of the globe. We pick from here and discuss further how climate change impacts irrigation and the ...
Water plays a critical role in agriculture, serving as the lifeblood for crops and soil, and is essential for growing food. However, natural rainfall is often unpredictable, insufficient, or unevenly distributed across regions, making irrigation systems a vital component of modern farming. With effective irrigation, many farmers would be able to produce enough crops to meet both local and global ...
Key Difference between Lateral Move Irrigation and Centre Pivot Sprinklers, and What to Consider when Buying Lateral move irrigation systems, similar to center pivots, are a great solution for large fields. ...
Emergency Water Stages in the Unforgiving Dry Climate of the Canadian Prairies Many businesses in the prairies rely heavily on rain and melting snow for their water supply. But right now, Alberta and Saskatchewan are facing record-low precipitation. The provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have struggled with droughts and water shortages for the last three years, and this year, the world is ...
Energy Efficiency: Smart irrigation systems reduce energy consumption by eliminating unnecessary pumping and reducing the overall irrigation duration. ...

This article explores the multifaceted role of advanced irrigation controllers in modern agriculture and their impact on optimizing crop production. The Evolution of Irrigation Systems Irrigation has been a cornerstone of agriculture for millennia, enabling farmers to supplement natural rainfall and sustain crop growth. Traditional irrigation methods, such as flooding and furrow ...
Rovero is having a lot of success with the Roll-Air greenhouse. This revolutionary greenhouse is usually used in nurseries, but the system has now also been built for the first time in a garden centre in our country. Intratuin Barneveld has the scoop. Jan van Hemert (Rovero) and Ton Uljee (Intratuin Barneveld) give us a detailed look at the new greenhouse. Intratuin Barneveld has the scoop. ...

The system features a tube with a bactericide lining with an internal plug resistant emitter protected from root intrusion by an impregnated herbicide. ...
A second task in converting from managing sprinkler systems to SDI systems is to shift paradigms. The irrigator no longer can rely on the performance of the sprinkler, such as visually obvious defects of the system. ...
However, the guidelines limit the use of reclaimed water through sprinkler and other above ground irrigation Systems. One promising alternative is subsurface drip irrigation. ...

However, the Hawaii Department of Health's new "Guidelines for the Treatment and Reuse of Reclaimed Water" limits reclaimed water applications through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems. Restricted use of secondary disinfected effluent through conventional sprinkler Systems has forced reuse in Hawaii "underground." ...
Imagine Dan’s delight to watch the documentary, Kiss the Ground, and have his vision confirmed. Since 1986, our owner/inventor Daniel Lee has engaged in deep, self-study of soil chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and metallurgy to discover the natural means by which nutrients are dissolved and released to supply energy to hungry plant roots thereby turning soils – that are otherwise ...
Drivable Grass® has originally been designed with the intention to have commonly used spray irrigation systems installed underneath the product, including fitting sprinkler heads through cut voids of the mat or spraying from outside the installation. The conventional overspray irrigation system has been used successfully with Drivable ...
While the prevailing rationale for new irrigation technology adoption is improved water use efficiency, this study evaluated trade-offs between water savings, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and economic gain associated with the conversion of a furrow irrigation system to a sprinkler irrigation (lateral-move) system on a cotton farm in eastern ...
From these daily reports MacLennan can transfer the data into the Ministry's online reporting system. Under a water extraction permit issued by the Ministry of The Environment in 2009 the golf course is allowed to draw a maximum of 500,000 liters per day at a flow rate not to exceed 1,380 liters per minute (and 600,000 liters per day at max 1660 liters per minute after July 1). ...
The six replicate house lots were typical of front lawns and house fronts of California residential developments and consisted of stucco walls, garage doors, driveways, and residential lawn irrigation sprinkler systems. Each of the six lots also included a rainfall simulator to generate artificial rainfall events. ...
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. ...
The purpose of this study was to simulate canopy cover, grain yield and water use efficiency (WUE) for soybean using the AquaCrop model. A field line source sprinkler irrigation system was conducted under full and deficit irrigation using different nitrogen fertilizer applications during two cropping seasons for soybean at Gorgan province in Iran. ...
