Drivers and Challenges of Micro‐Irrigation Adoption and Intensity in India: A Study of Four States

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT India's food security relies substantially on groundwater, but inefficient irrigation is seriously depleting this resource. Micro‐irrigation (MI) improves irrigation application efficiency and productivity, yet adoption remains low. This study examines MI adoption across four major Indian states—Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and ...

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 ...

Maize Yield, Water Productivity and Economic Analysis Under Different Irrigation and Nitrogen Management Strategies Using Field Data and CERES‐Maize Model

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is limited integrated evaluation of nitrogen (N) and irrigation management strategies for improving maize yield and productivity using crop models. The effects of N and irrigation on maize yield and productivity under centre pivot (CPI) and subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) using the CERES‐Maize model were investigated. N treatments were (

On‐Farm Demonstration and Economic Evaluation of an IoT Sensing System for Irrigation Management in South Carolina

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation can strongly influence agricultural productivity and sustainability. While sensor‐based irrigation has the potential to improve yield, reduce input costs and enhance resource‐use efficiency, its adoption in commercial agriculture remains limited.

Integrated weed management in potato

, 2015
An effective weed management program takes into account the type of weeds present, crop rotation, cultivation, available herbicides, and the competitive ability of potato crop. Potato fields should always be tilled after previous crops are harvested to reduce weed seed or propagule production.

Turning Down Mum's Cooking: The Ethics of Dietary Difference within Families

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although food ethicists have called for greater attention to the relational context of eating for over a decade, the context of ‘eating with family’ remains largely ignored. But the family is both a morally specific relational context and one within which many people do most of their eating.

Nitrogen Fertilization Temporarily Enhances Phosphatase Activity in a High‐P Loamy Sand

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Efficient plant utilization of soil phosphorus (P) is essential to reduce dependence on mineral P fertilizers in intensive agriculture. Input of mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers and its chemical form may influence the activity of P mineralizing enzymes, but how this interaction operates under field conditions in a soil with high P ...

Weed supression by smother crops and selective herbicides

Scientia Agricola, 2004
Using a smother crop is thought to suppress weed density and to add other beneficial effects in sustainable agricultural systems. Weed suppression ought to be considered an essential component of integrated weed management.

Integrating conventional breeding, biotechnology, and genome editing for herbicide-resistant rice: implications for sustainable development goals

Discover Plants
Global population growth, climate variability, labour scarcity, and declining availability of arable land have intensified the demand for sustainable and resource-efficient weed management strategies in rice production systems.
