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

open access: yesIrrigation 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

open access: yesIrrigation 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.

Evaluating Water–Energy–Food Nexus Strategies to Address Resource Scarcity in the Crocodile River Catchment, South Africa

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The water–energy–food (WEF) nexus approach highlights the interdependence of water, energy and food resources, all of which play central roles in agriculture, especially irrigation. A WEF nexus lens was applied to Mpumalanga's Crocodile River catchment, a vital irrigation area that significantly contributes to South Africa's staple food ...

Remote Sensing for Irrigation Water Management—The State of the Art and Prospects for Near‐Future Operations

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...

Enhancing Reliable Irrigation–Water Supply in Poverty‐Ridden and Drought‐Prone Areas: Pre‐2017 Baseline Evidence From the Tawona Irrigation Scheme, Zimbabwe

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates farmers' willingness to pay for a reliable irrigation water supply in Zimbabwe's Tawona irrigation scheme, where intermittent water supply caused by funding shortages threatens irrigation sustainability. Using contingent valuation and logit regression analysis, data were collected from 313 farmers during the 2016/2017 ...
