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 ...

Minimizing health risks during secondary effluent application via subsurface drip irrigation
Health risks posed on consumers due to the use of agricultural products irrigated with reclaimed wastewater were assessed by numerical simulation. The analysis is based on defining of an Exposure Model (EM) which takes into account several parameters: (i) the quality of the applied wastewater, (ii) the irrigation method, (iii) the elapsed times between irrigation, harvest, and product ...

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 ...

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: ...

Irrigation polyethylene pipe
Modern irrigation systems give maximum productivity and efficiency from water, and play an important role in the production of agricultural products. One of the main elements in the modern irrigation system is the use of polyethylene pipes to transport water. In this article, we will examine the features and benefits of using ldpe pipe (low density polyethylene pipe) and we will examine how to ...
