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, ...
Introduction: The Vital Role of Irrigation Water Pumps in Agriculture In the world of agriculture, water is the lifeblood that nurtures crops and sustains our food supply. As global climate patterns shift and water resources become increasingly precious, efficient irrigation has never been more crucial. At the heart of any effective irrigation system lie irrigation water pumps, the unsung heroes ...
The project has as its overall aim to increase climate resilient agricultural productivity and food security, with a specific objective to increase the water productivity and profitability of smallholder farmers in Mozambique, prioritizing small (family sector) farmers to increase food and nutritional security. This project will demonstrate what the best combinations are of adoption strategies ...
In the ever-evolving landscape of the food industry, challenges come in many forms. One of the most insidious threats to food production and quality is the proliferation of algae. Often overlooked or underestimated, algae can quietly exert harmful and damaging effects over time. This gradual contamination of water sources can lead to a cascade of issues throughout the food supply chain, ...
Self-cleaning filters play an important role in irrigation systems. The automatic filters can improve irrigation efficiency, help conserve water, reduce labor costs, and extend the life of irrigation equipment. Traditional irrigation systems often rely on standard filters that require regular manual cleaning to remove accumulated debris and contaminants. Self-cleaning filters, however, are ...
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 ...
The irrigation sector has a key role to play in ensuring food security in the current global context, marked by a changing geopolitical situation, climate change and the scarcity of water resources. Thus, agricultural irrigation is facing new challenges that mean irrigation associations will need to digitalize their processes. Initiatives such as Spain’s PERTE (Recovery, Transformation and ...

In the face of growing water scarcity and the pressing need for sustainable agricultural practices, optimizing irrigation efficiency has become a paramount concern for farmers worldwide. ...
I. Introduction Irrigation is a critical component of agriculture, ensuring that crops receive the necessary amount of water for optimal growth and yield. ...
One of the critical components of successful agriculture is irrigation, which ensures that crops receive the water they need to thrive. However, using untreated or impure water for irrigation can have detrimental effects on crops and the environment. Self-cleaning irrigation water filters have emerged as a groundbreaking solution to this problem. The Importance of Self-Cleaning Irrigation Water ...
Mechanical harvesting versus chemical herbicides is the great debate when it comes to tackling water weed problems. When you’re faced with an infestation of any of the water weeds we’ve covered in previous articles (and there are plenty more to talk about as well), you can feel so overwhelmed and frustrated that you just want the problem to go away as quickly as possible. This causes ...
Farmers constantly pursue innovative technologies to improve crop quality and yield in today’s ever-evolving agricultural landscape. Ozone systems have emerged as a game-changing solution in agriculture, offering myriad benefits. The ozone process not only purifies water and improves yield but also prevents mineral deposits from forming in pipes, leaving no chemical residue. This ...
