Five benefits of agricultural smart irrigation
Population growth and an increase in irrigated agricultural land lead to a greater need for water and energy, at a time when global warming and rising greenhouse gas emissions are posing a real environmental challenge. In this context, the benefits of smart irrigation, i.e., using the exact amount of water needed for each crop, help to optimize this scarce resource. If we take a closer look at ...

Irrigation water pricing policy for water demand and environmental management: a case study in the Weihe River basin
Irrigated agricultural production is the backbone of the Chinese agricultural sector, but the increasing demand for irrigation water, its inefficient utilization and overuse of chemical inputs, accompanied by the short supply of water resources have endangered the nation's agricultural and environmental sustainability. The Chinese government has proposed a water pricing policy with the ...

Transferring irrigation management to farmer's associations: Evidence from the Philippines
Irrigation management transfer (IMT) is an important strategy among donors and governments that aims to strengthen farmer control over water and irrigation infrastructure. In this study, we use data from a survey of 68 irrigator associations (IAs) and 1020 farm households in the Philippines to examine the impact of IMT on irrigation association performance and on rice yields. We find that the ...

Unlocking Precision and Sustainability with Portable Soil EC Detectors
For millennia, farmers have tilled the land, guided by intuition and tradition. But beneath the surface, in the hidden realm of the soil, lies a powerful language waiting to be deciphered. A language not of words, but of electrical whispers, dictating the very foundation of plant growth and ecosystem health. This language is spoken in terms of Electrical Conductivity (EC), and to understand it, ...

Seasonal ammonia losses from spray-irrigation with secondary-treated recycled water
This work examines ammonia volatilization associated with agricultural irrigation employing recycled water. Effluent from a secondary wastewater treatment plant was applied using a center pivot irrigation system on a 12 ha agricultural site in Palmdale, California. Irrigation water was captured in shallow pans and ammonia concentrations were quantified in four seasonal events. The average ammonia ...

Using Soil EC Sensors for Irrigation Management
I. Introduction Irrigation is a critical component of agriculture, ensuring that crops receive the necessary amount of water for optimal growth and yield. However, the efficient use of water is becoming increasingly important due to water scarcity and the need to conserve resources. Soil EC sensors offer a valuable tool for irrigation management, allowing farmers to monitor soil moisture levels ...
