TL;DR: In this paper, a study was initiated to evaluate the magnetic treatment of irrigation water on growth and yield parameters of cow pea and brinjal using pot and field experiments, and the impact of magnetic treatment on water properties and soil moisture were also evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, the total water requirement of crops in agro-ecological units (AEUs) of Palakkad district of humid tropical Kerala computed with CROPWAT 80 using the meteorological parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, a field experiment was conducted for two seasons with different tillage systems and trash management practices and the results revealed that Tillage by Tractor drawn off barring (TT) combined with adoption of trash shredding+composted pressmud+wonder life (S4) treatment significantly improved the germination percentage, tiller number, number of millable canes and ultimately the ratoon cane yield in both the seasons.

TL;DR: The results suggest that LCDI is a feasible option to increase the sugarcane production in water scarcity areas of semiarid agro ecosystems, and have long-term sustained economic benefits than flood irrigation in terms of water productivity, energy saving and environmental sustainability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the potentials of various water-saving approaches and the strategies for improving the water productivity along with the improved yield of rice in this review, and showed that adopting innovative water saving techniques are absolutely essential for maintaining the food security (future rice production) due to increasing water scarcity under the changing climate scenario.
