Abstract:
... Agricultural irrigation wastage, especially from inefficient infrastructure in developing nations, is among the leading causes of the global water shortage epidemic, which affects an estimated 2.8 billion people worldwide. In this project, a three-component cloudless internet-of-things (IoT)-based irrigation network is designed and constructed to affordably integrate into existing irrigation infra ...
... Optimizing irrigation and nitrogen (N) fertilizer applications is essential to ensure crop yields and lower environmental risks under climate change. The DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) model was employed to investigate the impacts of irrigation regime (RF, rainfed; MI, minimum irrigation; CI, critical irrigation; FI, full irrigation) and N fertilizer rate (N60, N90, N120, N150, N180, N210, N ...

Abstract:
... Drought stress really restring the growth and development of tea plant and affecting quality and yield. In tea growing areas of Iran, drought stress is a serious problem that affects the yield and quality of green leaves, therefore introducing cultivars that tolerate drought stress is one of the breeding purpose. To distinguish the variations in four tea cultivars response to drought stress and th ...

Abstract:
... Reasonable irrigation and fertilization practices can not only improve soil quality, but also increase crop yield, and water-fertilizer use efficiency. However, it is still unclear that the micro-irrigation and fertilization mode is conducive to improving the soil comprehensive environment, the mango yield and water-fertilizer use efficiency in the dry-hot region. The effects of regulated deficit ...

... In the present study, a new optimization approach, intuitionistic fuzzy optimization (IFO), has been proposed for optimal cropping pattern in the Kakrapar Right Bank Main Canal command area of Ukai Kakrapar Water Resources Project in India. The IFO is an extension of the fuzzy optimization technique which considers, apart from the degree of acceptance, the degree of rejection and hesitation index ...

Abstract:
... An appropriate agricultural water-land nexus can help to effectively take advantage of limited water and land resources, which is of great significance for guaranteeing food security. An R index was proposed to evaluate the regional agricultural water-land nexus from a green-blue water perspective in the current paper. The effects of irrigation on the agricultural water-land nexus were revealed fo ...

Abstract:
... Maize (Zea mays L.) yields are recognized to be sensitive to both the level of nitrogen fertilization and irrigation that is applied to the crop. However, there are virtually no studies where experimental results are analyzed to quantitatively explore directly the interactive influence of these two resources on yield. As a consequence, it is difficult to sort out the optimum management regime for ...

Abstract:
... Water and fertilizer supply can affect the processes of assimilate production (source) and assimilate accumulation (sink), thereby causing differences in potato yield. However, little is known about the coupling effects of irrigation amount and potassium rate on potato tuber yield and its potential source-sink relationships. The objective of this study was to quantify how water and potassium suppl ...

Abstract:
... As the uncertainty and importance of securing resources increase, the nexus concept is used for integrated sustainable use management planning. In particular, because protected farms are most affected by temperature change, the connection between the heating temperature variable and resources must be analyzed. In this study, a water-energy-food-carbon nexus model that reflected the agricultural ch ...

... Recent advances in irrigation technologies have led many states to incentivize homeowners to purchase United States Environmental Protection Agency WaterSense-labeled, smart irrigation controllers. However, previous research of smart controllers has shown that their use may still result in excess water application when compared with controllers manually programmed to replace actual water loss. Thi ...

Abstract:
... Crop models can be combined with optimization algorithms in order to develop management tools. However, such model-based tools are inherently affected by the imperfectness of the model on which they are based. In this paper we describe a procedure in which data assimilation and partial re-parametrization of the model embedded in the optimization procedure used to determine irrigation scheduling ar ...

Although agricultural intensification generally has homogenizing effects on landscapes that reduce crop diversity, the specific effects of different input strategies on crop diversity are unclear. This study examines the effects of irrigation inputs on crop species diversity in Mexico. We assess the richness and evenness diversity of 297 crop species across 2455 municipalities while controlling fo ...

Aiming at the extensive management problems in ecological operation and ecological irrigation, this paper proposed a novel ecological irrigation method—ecological infiltration irrigation (EII), and established a multi-scale ecological operation model of reservoir group coupled with EII for the irrigation and restoration of river valley grasslands. Firstly, the ecological available water supplies i ...

A non linear optimization model is formulated in the present study to optimize the deficit levels for different crop growth stages to maximize the net economic return within the available resource constraints. The model determines decade (10 days) optimal withdrawals from canal and ground water, optimal area under different crops and optimal deficit levels for different crop growth stages. The mod ...

... Precise application of water and nitrogen fertilizer can increase crop water productivity and reduce agricultural contributions to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Regulated deficit irrigation (DI) and drip fertigation are efficient practices that control the amount, location, and timing of water and nutrient application, yet few studies have measured GHG emissions under these practices, especially ...
