- Abstract:
- ... Accurate quantification of evapotranspiration (ET, consumptive water use) from planting through harvest is critical for managing limited water resources for crop irrigation. Our objective was to develop and apply a land-crop surface residual energy balance (EB) method for quantifying ET and to estimate ET of corn (Zea mays L.) for the first time in the climate of the lower Mississippi Delta region ...

- Abstract:
- ... Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) colonies are becoming a real problem in pressurized irrigation networks. The zebra mussel infestation of the 45 Water Users Associations (WUAs) of the Riegos del Alto Aragón (RAA) irrigation project (121 thousand hectares located in northeastern Spain) was assessed during the period of 2013–2017. Maps of WUA infestation stages were produced. A survey of the WUAs ...

- Abstract:
- ... Increasing cropping intensification in the southern saline region of Bangladesh is a national priority; however, increased intensification should not be at the cost of exploiting the precious groundwater resources. The best strategy for increasing intensification is through using saline water for irrigation wherever and/or whenever it is possible. In this context, a two years field study was condu ...

This study investigated the effect of MCs on growth, yield and fruit quality of cucumber and evaluated the potential risk of MCs. Cucumber plants were irrigated daily for 7 days with MCs extraction contaminated water (0, 1, 10, 100, 1000 μg/l), and then, cultivat ...
