Effect of Trickle Irrigation on Peach Trees1
HortScience, 1979 Abstract Peach trees ( Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. Redglobe) were trickle-irrigated at 3 rates using open pan evaporation as a basis for calculating theoretical irrigation needs from 1973-1976 beginning when trees were 6-years-old.

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 ...
