Can Solar‐Powered Irrigation Systems Naturally Meet Crop Water Requirements? Proof of Concept From a Case Study in Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation scheduling is crucial for ensuring precise water delivery to crops. However, in many sub‐Saharan African irrigation schemes, water is applied without considering crop water needs, resulting in low crop water productivity and low yields. Solar‐powered irrigation systems can automatically meet these needs by utilizing solar radiation,

Deficit Irrigation and Soil Amendment as Drought Adaptation Strategies: Water Use Efficiency in Pot Experiments With Wheat

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amidst climate change and recurring droughts, increasing irrigation water amount and frequency alone is not a definitive solution to address water scarcity in agricultural crop production, particularly in soils with poor water retention capacity. This study evaluated the effects of two drought adaptation strategies (deficit irrigation and soil

Modelling the Impact of Drained and Undrained Conditions on GHG Emissions in Croplands: A Case Study in Lincolnshire, UK

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural drainage plays a crucial role in land management and crop productivity but significantly impacts greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study examines the effects of drained and undrained soil conditions on GHG emissions in croplands via a case study in Lincolnshire, United Kingdom.

Concurrent Response of Soybean to Fixed (Full and Limited) and Variable Rate Irrigation Management in Three Soil Types: II. Growth, Yield, Evapotranspiration and Water Productivity

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soybean growth, yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop water use efficiency (CWUE or crop water productivity, CWP) under different irrigation levels in three different soil types in the same field were investigated concurrently. Treatments in each soil type were: (i) variable rate irrigation (VRI), (ii) fixed rate full irrigation (FR‐1″)
