Optimization of Irrigation for Potato with Microsprinkler Irrigation System [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering (India), 2008
Water application for agriculture in semi-arid areas should be limited because of scare resources. An effort was made at Central Institute of Post Harvest Engineering and Technology, Abohar to determine the optimal water allocation to potato crop with micro sprinkler irrigation system.

Analysis of Trickle and Pulse Microsprinkler Irrigation of Processing Apples

International Journal of Fruit Science, 1999
Abstract This study examined the effects of wetted area size on yield and growth of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples for processing by comparing a trickle irrigation system with a pulse microsprinkler system, each receiving the same level of water application.

Using microsprinkler irrigation to reduce leaching in a shrink/swell clay soil

Agricultural Water Management, 2002
Abstract Preferential flow allows agricultural chemicals to rapidly move past crop root zone to subsoil, potentially contaminating groundwater. Deep shrinkage cracks in a shrink/swell soil may serve as preferential flow channels. Design and operation of an irrigation system is critical in shrink/swell soils in order to reduce or eliminate ...

Statistical quality control for the evaluation of the uniformity of microsprinkler irrigation with photovoltaic solar energy

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2017
Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate a microsprinkler irrigation system with water pumping by photovoltaic system, through uniformity coefficients and the total energy produced (W h) by the system using the statistical quality control, comparing the Shewhart control charts, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and Cumulative ...
