Integrated Plant Genetic and Balanced Nutrient Management Enhances Crop and Water Productivity of Rainfed Production Systems in Rajasthan, India
Analysis of soils from 421 farmers’ fields in eastern districts of Rajasthan, India, revealed widespread deficiencies of sulfur (S; 43 to 87% fields deficient), boron (B; 25 to 100%), and zinc (Zn; 0 to 94%) in addition ...
Evapotranspiration: progress in measurement and modeling in agriculture
This article provides a focused survey of progress in crop evapotranspiration (ET) measurement and modeling, with particular emphasis on the aspects of interest to the irrigation profession. The significant advances in ...
Optimizing cotton irrigation regime using climatic data from mini weather station via evapotranspiration in the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan (in Russian)
Irrigated agriculture is the backbone of Central Asian economies and efficient
irrigation management is of crucial importance to the sustainable crop production. The ET-based irrigation scheduling method has potential to ...
Impact of deficit irrigation with saline water on yield, soil salinization and water productivity of barley in arid regions of Tunisia
Field studies were conducted for two years to determine the effects of irrigation regimes with saline water (7.6 dS/m) on soil salinity, yield and water productivity of barley in the arid region of Tunisia. Barley was grown ...
Developing scenarios to assess sunflower and soybean yield under different sowing dates and water regimes in the Bekaa valley (Lebanon): Simulations with Aquacrop
In a semi-arid environment, the main challenge for crop production is water
limitation in space and in time. Considered as appropriate tools, models are used to
evaluate the effects of water deficit on crop productivity ...
The role of limited irrigation and advanced management on improving water productivity of rainfed wheat at semi-cold region of upper Karkheh River Basin, Iran
In order to evaluate the role of a limited irrigation (LI) and agronomic management on
improving rain water productivity, a field study was conducted during 2005-08 winter cropping
seasons of wheat at multiple farms across ...
Maize–mucuna rotation: An alternative technology to improve water productivity in smallholder farming systems
Rain-fed crop production systems in the semi-arid tropics of Zimbabwe are characterized by low water productivity (WP), which is partly attributed to inherent low soil fertility, and further exacerbated by continuous ...

Ce travail porte sur l’étude de la gestion de l’irrigation à l'eau salée des cultures de pomme de terre
d’automne et de petit pois cultivés en intercalaires avec l’olivier. L'objectif étant de développer une
stratégie ...
Quantification of Agricultural Water Productivity at Field Scale and Its Implication in On-Farm Water Management
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is under
extreme water shortage conditions. About 80 % of water in
KSA is utilized by the agricultural sector; therefore, proper
management of irrigation water is required to produce ...
