Subsurface drip and overhead irrigation: a comparison of plant boll distribution in upland cotton
Although subsurface drip (SSD) is used as a water-efficient alternative to overhead irrigation in many crops, the effects of SSD on the distribution of bolls on cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L.) have not been thoroughly examined. The purpose of this study was to add to the current knowledge about the effects of SSD on cotton yield dynamics. Cultivar DP 488 BG/RR was grown in three studies ...

Effects of treated municipal wastewater on fluctuation trend of leaf area index and quality of maize (
Zea mays )The effect of primary-treated municipal wastewater (TMWW) on the leaf area index (LAI) and quality of maize (Zea mays) was studied in comparison to the clean irrigation water (control). The experiment was based on a randomized block design with four replicates, and it was conducted in a field experiment in Aligoudarz (Iran). Irrigation was applied with five different methods as treatments: T1: ...

Optimizing Irrigation Efficiency with Smart Soil Sensor Systems
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. Traditionally, irrigation scheduling has relied on estimates and fixed schedules, often leading to overwatering or underwatering, resulting in wasted water, nutrient leaching, and reduced crop yields. The advent ...

Soil sensors - vital for crop steering & yield manipulation
Crop steering - an introduction. Crop steering is a fairly new term that’s increased in popularity recently, but some growers have been using crop steering techniques for many years. The phrase crop steering is most often used by cannabis growers in relation to commercial cultivation of medicinal cannabis plants, but is applicable to commercial cultivators across the board. After all, ...

Irrigation demand modelling using the UKCP09 weather generator: lessons learned
The determination of irrigation demand is typically based on crop modelling using a long historic record of local daily weather data. However, there are rarely adequate weather station records near to given sites; often any local records cover a limited number of years, are incomplete, costly or are of poor quality. This paper examines whether version 1 of the UKCP09 weather generator can ...

Efficient Vineyard Irrigation Series #3: How to dynamically optimise irrigation scheduling
As climate change increases the cost and scarcity of water, as well as consumer concerns over environmental impact, efficient irrigation is fast becoming a key component of successful vineyard management. The need for efficiency is also growing with the increased frequency of extreme weather events (e.g. extreme heat, fluctuating rainfall, bushfires and droughts), which effect vine growth and ...
