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 ...

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 (

Transforming Agricultural Water Management for Healthy People and Planet: Thinking Beyond Water

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops the concept of Thinking Beyond Water, a transdisciplinary paradigm that reframes agricultural water management (AWM) as a systems catalyst for planetary health, equity, justice and resilience. Moving beyond conventional irrigation‐centric models, we reimagine AWM through integrative frameworks such as the planetary ...

Temporal and Environmental Influences on the Survival of Escherichia coli in Poultry Litter‐Based Soil Amendments in Georgia Sweet Onion Production Systems

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous studies have shown that pathogen survival in the biological soil amendments of animal origin (BSAAO) is mediated by meteorological conditions. Hence, a 2‐year field study was conducted in Georgia with four soil amendment treatments (heat‐treated poultry pellets, HTPPs; composted poultry litter, PL; unamended, UN) inoculated with ...

Alley cropping opportunities and research priorities in orchard systems: A case study in northern California

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Alley cropping is the production of annual and perennial cash crops between orchard trees. Despite its documented benefits, adoption of alley cropping in California remains limited. This paper describes a long‐term commercial alley cropping system in northern California and identifies research areas that can support this practice.
