To improve agricultural water resources' utilization, crop's automatic, locate, time and appropriate drip irrigation is a good choice. In this paper, an automatic control drip irrigation system based on ZigBee wireless sensor network and fuzzy control would be introduced. System uses ... Read More
Subsurface micro-irrigation is relatively new and being used successfully for strawberry, melon, tomato production in California, Florida and Arizona. There are several products available claiming successful results. Fruit and vegetable farmers in Colorado are inquisitive about the pe... Read More
The Egyptian irrigation program has evolved over millennium from flood to increasing control and from man and animal powered pumps and the Aswan Dam nearly a century ago, to the High Aswan Dam three decades ago permitting major river control. The farmer supply changed to personal engi... Read More
Research was conducted at the experimental station of the Agricultural Engineering Research Institute (AERI), Karaj-Iran, on a maize field under subsurface drip irrigation during summer 2009. Bowen ratio techniques (BREB) were used to obtain the field energy balance and soil surface e... Read More
Basing on summarizing the advantages and the disadvantages of different types of drip irrigation systems, the movable subsurface drip irrigation system which gathering the virtues of subsurface and movable drip irrigation was excogitated. The reutilization rate of every fixing was imp... Read More
There are many problems related to pipe network rehabilitation, the main one being how to provide an increase in the hydraulic capacity of a system. Most of the Slovak irrigation pipe networks are branched, which is case elsewhere. A possible approach to increasing the hydraulic capac... Read More
The first step towards a more sustainable, water efficient greenhouse is made through the application of soilless culture. Numerous studies have shown that separating the root zone from the ground increases water efficiency up to 5 times since the process of irrigation is well control... Read More
Small farmland irrigation and water conservancy facilities form an important part of the county-level agricultural infrastructure and one of the key factors that affect agricultural production. The paper takes the Jiyang County in Shandong Province as a case to explain ways to address... Read More
This study evaluated growth, yield, quality and quercetin concentration in response to planting density and deficit irrigation of onion (Allium cepa L.) in southwest Texas over two years. Onion seeds (cv. TG 1015) were direct seeded in the field on November 11, 2007 and October 30, 20... Read More
Unstable water supplies in the Western U. S. have become more uncertain due to increasingly drier winters and rising urban populations, and chemical laden runoff from over-watered urban landscapes threatens the health of waters that receive the runoff. In California, this has led to r... Read More
