Abstract:

Intensive crop production and irrational use of fertilizers and agrochemicals have questionable effects on the quality of products and the sustainable use of water for agricultural purposes. Organic cultivation and/or deficit irrigation are, among others, well appreciated practices for a sustainable crop production system. In the present study, spearmint plants (Mentha spicata L.) were grown in different cultivation schemes (conventional versus organic cultivation, full versus deficit irrigation), and effects on the plant physiological and biochemical attributes were examined in two harvesting

Ten year study of front line demonstrations (FLDs) on rapeseed-mustard was conducted to assess the potentiality of improvised production technology. In West Bengal, Rapeseed-mustard is the major oilseed crop contributing 53% of total oilseed production of the state. One of the major constraints is low productivity of this crop due to non adoption of recommended package of practices and situation-specific improved varieties by most of the growers. Data used for this study were pertained to FLDs in rapeseed-mustard conducted under Integrated Scheme on Oilseeds, Pulses, Oil palm and Maize (ISOPO

Abstract:

Rising water scarcity in agriculture has been a major concern worldwide. As resource managers seek to address this issue, Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has become a widely accepted sustainability paradigm. The purpose of this study is to evaluate restoration alternatives of irrigation tanks by applying multi-criteria and probabilistic benefit–cost analysis for a rural watershed in India. We incorporate the principles of local-IWRM, namely, hydrological balance, efficiency, equity, stakeholders’ involvement, and uncertainty. We use the mixed-method approach of data collection, in

The inefficient water use, and variable and low productivity in Kenyan public irrigation schemes is a major concern. It is, therefore, necessary to periodically monitor and evaluate the performance of public irrigation schemes. This prompted evaluation of performance of three rice growing irrigation schemes in western Kenya using benchmarking and principal component analysis. The aim of the study was to quantify and rank the performance of selected irrigation schemes.

Small-scale irrigation (SSI) development can play a major role in Ethiopia’s economic development, but sedimentation is a major threat to its sustainability. The focus of the dominant discourse around the sedimentation of SSI schemes lies in upstream catchment protection during the rainy season, neglecting both protection against erosion through overland flow along the margins of the canal network and sedimentation caused by livestock disturbances. Remedies against the latter causes of sedimentation during the irrigation season have been ineffective due to erroneous assumptions regarding its c

SUMMARYEthiopia has an irrigation potential of 5.3 million ha (Mha) of which 3.7 Mha can be developed using surface water sources, and 1.6 Mha using groundwater and rainwater management. Irrigation contributes to rapid transformation of agriculture as present-day agriculture is dominated by rainfed single crops. The current irrigation development in Ethiopia is about 0.7 Mha, and the performance of the existing schemes is not well understood. As the country is planning to expand irrigated agriculture in the next five years, it will be useful to review existing performance and to identify areas

Like many irrigation schemes in Central Asia, the one in Khorezm faces a two-fold challenge: on the one side, the severe problems inherited from the past need to be remedied and on the other side, the rising supply–demand gap driven by sharpening competition for water and climate change must be dealt with. Located in the lower part of the Amu Darya basin, Khorezm irrigation and drainage scheme is particularly vulnerable to supply–demand gaps. Promising solutions towards adaptation comprise modified strategies of land and water use towards higher efficiency and flexibility in combination with m

Abstract:

South Africa has one of the most complicated and integrated water resource systems in the world involving numerous interlinked river systems and major interbasin transfer schemes. The management of the various schemes has become a key issue over the past 15 years resulting in the development of sophisticated systems models which are now used to analyse and operate all of the country's major schemes. The models have been developed through a partnership between the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry in association with several of the country's consultants specialising in this area of exper

Abstract:

This report investigates the effectiveness of the Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) technique on water productivity and yield in paddy cultivation within Mahaweli System B, located in Sri Lanka's dry zone. With increasing water scarcity, particularly during the Yala season, farmers struggle to meet irrigation demands using traditional methods. The study compares AWD with conventional irrigation practices, focusing on its ability to reduce water consumption while maintaining or increasing rice yields. Two paddy fields were selected for trials, and the results show that fields using AWD consume

Abstract:

Agricultural water productivity (AWP), which is associated with multiple factors, is an important index for measuring the effectiveness of agricultural water management. The purpose of this study is to promote AWP through optimally allocating limited agricultural water resources with the coordination of related elements. Firstly, the coordination effects of multiple factors related to AWP are quantified as relative optimum membership degrees based on the fuzzy optimum selecting theory. Secondly, based on the relative optimum membership degrees for various crops, a linear fractional programming

Abstract:

Urban wastewater is an exploitable water resource in water-short countries and its controlled use in agriculture will make contributions to water conservation and food production. Health risks must be understood and appropriate control measures must be introduced into effluent use schemes. Recent guidelines from the World Health and Food and Agriculture Organizations of the UN now provide authoritative advice on health control and agricultural issues. Among the measures which can be considered are wastewater treatment, restricted crop selection, careful choice of irrigation method, adoption of

As a crop with high water consumption, rice is an important measure of efforts to improve agricultural irrigation efficiency and alleviate the contradiction between the supply and demand of agricultural water resources. This paper takes the Longtouqiao irrigation district, in the hinterland of the Sanjiang Plain, a major rice-producing area in northern China, as an example, and the AquaCrop crop growth model and entropy-cloud model are jointly used to develop a rice irrigation schedule optimization model based on three kinds of typical rainfall years.

The aim of this work was to investigate how soil texture and irrigation depletion levels (I1 = 75% and I2 = 50%) affected the performance of the maize crop. The soil textures at the experimental site are sandy, loamy, sandy loam, and clay loam. Sandy loam soils (T1) had the greatest total excess water depth (I1) at 75% water depletion (I1), followed by sandy soils

Abstract:

The concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere has been increasing since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is one of the mightiest GHGs, and agriculture is one of the main sources of N2O emissions. In this paper, we reviewed the mechanisms triggering N2O emissions and the role of agricultural practices in their mitigation. The amount of N2O produced from the soil through the combined processes of nitrification and denitrification is profoundly influenced by temperature, moisture, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen contents. These factors can be manipulate

With the ever-increasing importance of pistachio as a crop nut worldwide, there has developed a parallel ingrowth in fungal diseases pertaining to it. Pistachio trees, being one of the few trees that grow in the Mediterranean climate, have come under several serious pathogens that endanger its very production. Such conditions, therefore, require a review of the major fungal diseases affecting pistachios: namely, Alternaria Late Blight. The biological features and morphology concerning both will be discussed for proper identification and diagnosis. Moreover, the review covers various management
