Variable Rate Irrigation: A Long‐Term Simulated and Field Data Analyses of Irrigation Practices, Field Variability, Economic Feasibility and Profitability

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term economic analyses of variable rate irrigation (VRI) strategies were performed compared with uniform irrigation management (UIM) in a reference production field using the AquaCrop model. Five strategies to trigger irrigation were as follows: (Field Capacity‐VRI, Driest Soil Trigger‐VRI, Water Mining‐VRI, Conventional Uniform ...

Inline Oxygenation in Drip‐Irrigated Citrus: How Much Agrochemical Reduction Is Needed to Achieve Net Environmental Benefits?

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agronomic benefits of oxygen‐enriched irrigation, such as improved root development, enhanced nutrient uptake, and reduced fertiliser and pesticide requirements, are well documented. However, incorporating oxygenation devices into fertigation systems increases energy demand and material use, thereby incurring additional environmental ...

Farmer‐Led Strategies for Water Conservation in the Urmia Lake Basin, Iran

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 840-855, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the urgent issues of water scarcity and limited farmer livelihoods in the Urmia Lake basin. To address these challenges, we apply the Governance, Autonomy, Integration, and Needs orientation (GAIN) methodology. Our participatory approach revealed that farmers prioritised actionable measures for water management, yield ...

A Comparative Study on the Irrigation Suitability of Kerala's Rivers Using Fuzzy AHP and Conventional Methods

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 815-839, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Food security in Kerala depends on effective irrigation, but poor‐quality irrigation water poses threats such as salinity, sodicity and reduced soil productivity. Although past assessments have been localised, this study presents the first comprehensive, statewide evaluation of irrigation water suitability across 44 major rivers in Kerala.

Development and Testing of a Low‐Cost Soil Moisture Sensor for Real‐Time Irrigation Scheduling

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 173-187, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective irrigation scheduling is essential for improved water management in irrigated areas, with soil moisture monitoring recognized as one of the most effective methods. However, challenges such as the high cost of sensors and the difficulties in monitoring large areas hinder their practical application, particularly for smallholder ...

Management Strategies and Agricultural Calendars for Forage Production in Semi‐Arid Brazil Using AquaCrop

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 411-424, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Forage production in semi‐arid regions of Brazil is limited by water deficit. This study aimed to identify the most adapted and efficient production systems and define their agricultural calendars for the semi‐arid region of Brazil. Twenty‐nine production arrangements that included different cropping conditions, plant density, plant cycles ...
