Excessive amounts of irrigation water are often utilized for early potato cultivated in the Mediterranean basin. Given that water is an expensive and limited resource in semi-arid areas, it is crucial to provide a better irrigation management and/or irrigation technologies that facilitate its...

Extensive researches have been conducted over the decades to investigate the effects of seawater on many crop plants either by irrigation or foliar spray in an attempt to enhance the yield and quality. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively determine the effects of different foliar...

Field studies were conducted to determine the response of processing tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) to deficit irrigation (DI) to guide programs for the development of improved irrigation management practices for sub-humid zones. Field experiments were conducted in Bursa province,...

In modern living, rapid development has created an increase in demand for groundwater. An endeavor has been made to understand the hydrogeochemical parameters to determine the utility of groundwater. This situation is severe in coastal hard rock aquifers due to the influence of salinity...

There is growing scientific interest in the potential role that precision irrigation (PI) can make towards improving crop productivity, and increasing water and energy efficiency in irrigated agriculture. Most progress has been made in arid and semi-arid climates for use in high value crop...

Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) is a relatively unknown crop in Europe, with great potential as a natural sweeteners source. Stevia has a high content of sweeteners, which are up to 150 times sweeter than sugar, but virtually with no calories. Stevia can be cultivated as an irrigated summer...

A study was carried out under greenhouse conditions to establish the role of substrate physical and chemical properties. Pine bark and coal rubble were mixed at 100, 75, 50, 25, and 0% by volume. A farmers’ standard practice (50% pine bark + 50% sand) was included as a control. The experiment...

The study revealed that yield decline for crops, the water quality, averting or defensive expenditure for land, irrigationwater and drinking water was increased with pollution intensitycaused by water pollution. The value productivity in seriouslyaffected farms was influenced by both input and...
