Evaluation of water movement and nitrate dynamics in a lysimeter planted with an orange tree

Phogat, V.; Skewes, M.A.; Cox, J.W.; Alam, J.; Grigson, G. - In: Agricultural Water Management 127 (2013) C, pp. 74-84

Adoption of high input irrigation management systems for South Australian horticultural crops seeks to provide greater control over timing of irrigation and fertilizer applications. The HYDRUS 2D/3D model was used to simulate water movement in the soil under an orange tree planted in a field...

Fruit yield and quality response of a late season peach orchard to different irrigation regimes in a semi-arid environment

Faci, J.M.; Medina, E.T.; Martínez-Cob, A.; Alonso, J.M. - In: Agricultural Water Management 143 (2014) C, pp. 102-112

Some degree of deficit irrigation is normally applied to orchards in semi-arid environments in order to reduce unwanted vegetative growth and to increase water productivity. In this study the effect of three irrigation treatments on the yield and quality of the fruit production was evaluated...

Farmers’ scheduling patterns in on-demand pressurized irrigation

Salvador, R.; Latorre, B.; Paniagua, P.; Playán, E. - In: Agricultural Water Management 102 (2011) 1, pp. 86-96

Irrigation scheduling results from the irrigator's integration of meteorological, environmental and crop information. In this paper, the irrigation scheduling patterns of a group of irrigators in the Candasnos Water Users Association (WUA), located in north-eastern Spain, were analysed....

Using soil surface temperature to assess soil evaporation in a drip irrigated vineyard

Kerridge, B.L.; Hornbuckle, J.W.; Christen, E.W.; … - In: Agricultural Water Management 116 (2013) C, pp. 128-141

Evaporation from the soil is an important part of the water balance of a crop, when considering water use efficiency. In this paper, a non-intensive method is tested to estimate relative soil evaporation, which is based upon a linear function of soil surface temperature change between a...

Bio-fouling of subsurface type drip emitters applying reclaimed water under medium soil thermal variation

Oliver, M.M.H.; Hewa, G.A.; Pezzaniti, D. - In: Agricultural Water Management 133 (2014) C, pp. 12-23

Emitter clogging is very common in reclaimed water drip irrigation schemes. The clogging biomass appears due to bio-fouling of the emitters’ flow paths. The fouling biomass is a composite of microbial secretions and suspended particles both of which originate from the reclaimed water. This...

A bidirectional model for simulating soil water flow and salt transport under mulched drip irrigation with saline water

Chen, Li-Juan; Feng, Qi; Li, Feng-Rui; Li, Chang-Sheng - In: Agricultural Water Management 146 (2014) C, pp. 24-33

Here, we present a mathematical model for simulating both soil water flow and salt transport in two directions (perpendicular and parallel to the drip tubing) under mulched drip irrigation with saline water. We evaluated the effectiveness of this model by comparing the simulated values with...
