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

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″)

Concurrent Response of Soybean to Fixed‐ (Full and Limited) and Variable‐Rate Irrigation Management in Three Soil Types: I. Soil Water Dynamics

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research investigated soybean soil water dynamics under different irrigation levels in three different soil types in the same field concurrently. Treatments imposed in each soil type were: (i) variable‐rate irrigation (VRI), (ii) fixed‐rate full irrigation (FRI‐1″ or FRI‐25.4 mm) and (iii) fixed‐rate limited irrigation (FRI‐0.75″ or FRI ...

Development and Testing of a Low‐Cost Soil Moisture Sensor for Real‐Time Irrigation Scheduling

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective irrigation scheduling is essential for improved water management in irrigated areas, with soil moisture monitoring recognized as one of the most effective methods. However, challenges such as the high cost of sensors and the difficulties in monitoring large areas hinder their practical application, particularly for smallholder ...

INFLUENCE OF LAND RELIEF (TERRAIN) ON SOIL MOISTURE REGIME AND PRODUCTIVITY OF SPRING WHEAT AND BARLEY

open access: yesЗерновое хозяйство России, 2018
While cultivating crops on sloping lands it’s necessary to know the level of land relief influence on plant productivity. The purpose of research is to study the effects of different types of slopes on distribution of snow, water reserves in soil and ...

Factors affecting U.S. sorghum and cotton exports: A dynamic ARDL simulation approach

open access: yesJournal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract The U.S. faces increasing competition from Argentina and Brazil for sorghum and cotton exports. Using a dynamic Auto Regressive Distributed Lag model, this study shows that U.S. sorghum and cotton exports are positively affected by area harvested, yield, and export price.
