Major transport mechanisms of pyrethroids in residential settings and effects of mitigation measures
The major pathways for transport of pyrethroids were determined in runoff studies conducted at a full scale test facility in central California. 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 ...

Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) on Turfgrass: A University Experience
ABSTRACT The practice of placing tubing and drip emitters beneath the soil surface to irrigate crops continues to gain acceptance in agriculture, particularly in the production of annual crops. However, the use of the subsurface drip method to irrigate turfgrass has only begun to be explored. This paper focuses on the experiences gained at California State University, Fresno (CSUF) in adopting ...

Subsurface Drip System
Redefining Water Efficiency with Subsurface Drip System Water scarcity and rising concerns over wastage have propelled the adoption of water-efficient systems across various industries. In particular, the agricultural sector has been facing immense pressure to reduce water consumption while maintaining crop yield and quality. Traditional irrigation methods such as flood and sprinkler systems ...

Maize growth and yield under daytime and nighttime solid-set sprinkler irrigation
Nighttime sprinkler irrigation usually results in lower wind drift and evaporation losses (WDELs) and better irrigation uniformity compared with daytime irrigation. However, daytime sprinkler irrigation modifies the microclimatic conditions within the crop canopy which could result in improved crop growth. We studied the effect of daytime and nighttime irrigation on the growth and yield of maize ...

Greyline TTFM 1.0 flow meter for Golf course irrigation - Case Study
Summerheights Golf Links in Cornwall, Ontario draws irrigation water from the South Raisin River. Flow rates in the river can become very low during dry periods so water extraction is regulated and monitored closely. Flowmeter is equipped with an optional 2-million point data logger which stores daily total, minimum and maximum flow rates. Rory MacLennan plugs a USB memory stick into the ...

Sprinkler irrigation changes maize canopy microclimate and crop water status, transpiration, and temperature
During a sprinkler irrigation event some water is lost due to wind drift and evaporation (WDEL). After the irrigation event, plant-intercepted water is lost due to evaporation. The water lost causes microclimatic changes which could result in positive or negative plant physiological changes. We studied the microclimatic and physiological changes on two fields grown with maize (Zea mays L.) ...

Flow monitoring for golf course irrigation - Case Study
“We are all talking about the price of oil, but it's water we'll be fighting for in the future” Summerheights Golf Links in Cornwall, Ontario draws irrigation water from the South Raisin River. Flow rates in the river can become very low during dry periods so water extraction is regulated and monitored closely. Under a water extraction permit issued by the Ministry of The ...

Re-evaluating the rationale for irrigation technology adoption through an integrated trade-off analysis: case study of a cotton farming system in Australia
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 Australia. Trade-offs were evident when conversion ...

Drip Irrigation Meets Drivable Grass
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 Grass® for many years. Soil Retention, manufacturer ...

Water reuse through subsurface drip irrigation systems
Water reuse in Hawaii has been primarily relegated to agricultural irrigation and irrigation of golf courses and other large landscaped areas. The continuing effort to conserve and preserve potable water resources emphasizes using alternative water sources for irrigation. Agriculture, golf courses, highways, parks, playgrounds and cemeteries are among the heaviest users of irrigation water due to ...

AquaCrop model simulation under different irrigation water and nitrogen strategies
On a global scale, irrigated agriculture consumes about 72% of available freshwater resources. Deficit irrigation can be applied in the field to save irrigation water and still lead to acceptable crop production. The AquaCrop model is a simulation model for management of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer. This model is a new model that is accurate, robust and requires fewer data inputs ...

Scalewatcher Banishes Limescale In Gardens And Greenhouses
In hard water areas, automated watering systems, sprinkler irrigation systems and greenhouse-misting systems clog with limescale, plant leaves develop white scale deposits and over-spray causes limescale build-up on greenhouse windows. Scalewatcher North America, manufacturers of the original, patented and award-winning computerized electronic water-conditioner, Scalewatcher®, has a range of ...

Enhancing Crop Yield through Advanced Irrigation Controllers
Introduction Agriculture is the lifeblood of our civilization, providing sustenance and resources essential for human survival. In the pursuit of sustainable and efficient agricultural practices, advanced irrigation controllers have emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to enhance crop yield while promoting water conservation. This article explores the multifaceted role of ...

Reuse of Dairy Lagoon Wastewater Through SDI in Forage Crops
Abstract California has become the leading dairy products producing state in the USA. This has resulted in farms commonly milking several thousand cows per day. The care and feeding of the animals has produced large waste streams commonly collected and stored in lagoons. Environmentally safe handling and reuse of the lagooned wastewater is the objective of this study. A system of Subsurface Drip ...

Potential water savings associated with agricultural water efficiency improvements: a case study of California, USA
This study analyzes the potential for water savings from irrigation efficiency improvements in California, USA. We model water savings associated with three efficiency scenarios in wet, average and dry water years. The ‘efficient irrigation technology’ scenario shifts a fraction of the crops from flood irrigation to sprinkler and drip systems; the ‘improved irrigation scheduling’ scenario uses ...

Roll-Air greenhouse creates experience at Intratuin Barneveld - Case Study
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. ...

Soil Regeneration - From the Ground Up
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 ...
