Increasing the Lateral Line Length of Drip Irrigation Systems [PDF]

British Journal of Environment and Climate Change, 2013
Aims: The hypothesis of this research is that it is possible to increase the drip irrigation lateral line length by using a larger spacing between emittersat the beginningof the lateral lineand a smallerone after a certaindistance, which would allow for a higher pressure variationalong the lateral line under an acceptable value of distribution ...

Effects of deficit irrigation and biostimulants on melon productivity and quality in semi‐arid conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

AUTOMATION OF THE DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM

This article proposes an intelligent automated drip irrigation system for irrigating crops, in which a smartphone first takes a picture of the soil, calculates its moisture level, and from time to time transmits data to the microcontroller via a GSM module.

Salmonella enterica serovars co‐exist sporadically and at low abundance in US mid‐Atlantic irrigation ponds

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Spring or rain‐fed ponds are frequent features on US mid‐Atlantic farms. The need to conduct preharvest agricultural water assessments to identify microbial hazards, as required by the US Produce Safety Rule, highlights knowledge gaps pertaining to pond water adequacy for vegetable production.
