Journal ArticleDOI
The efficiency of drip irrigation unpacked
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review of the literature on drip irrigation is presented, and it is shown that efficiency gains from drip irrigation will only be achieved under narrowly defined operational conditions, and just apply to very specific spatial and temporal scales.

Nitrogen and water use efficiency of zucchini squash for a plastic mulch bed system on a sandy soil
Lincoln Zotarelli,Michael D. Dukes,Johannes Scholberg,Travis A. Hanselman,Kristen Le Femminella,Rafael Muñoz-Carpena +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the interaction between fertilisation rates and irrigation treatments, and quantify nitrate leaching in a plastic mulched/drip irrigated zucchini squash production systems.

Improvement of crop yield, soil moisture distribution and water use efficiency in sandy soils by clay application
Saleh M. Ismail,Kiyoshi Ozawa +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a contai ners experiment was carried out to study the enhancement of water productivity and cro p yield of sandy soils treated with clay. And the results indicated that the leaf area in cucumbe r and stem length, stem diameter and number of leaves in maize were increased in the tre atments treated with Clay.

Water-use efficiency and evapotranspiration of mango orchard grown in northeastern region of Brazil.
Vicente de Paulo Rodrigues da Silva,João Hugo Baracuy da Cunha Campos,Pedro Vieira de Azevedo +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted field experiments at a commercial farm to obtain the water-use efficiency and evapotranspiration of mango orchard growth in a semi-arid environment of northeastern region of Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of deficit irrigation and growing seasons on plant water status, fruit yield and water use efficiency of squash under saline soil
TL;DR: In this article, a successive summer and fall experiments were conducted to study the effect of deficit irrigation growing seasons on the squash water status, total fruit yield and water use efficiency (WUE) in saline soil.

Subsurface drip irrigation for corn production: a review of 10 years of research in Kansas
Freddie R. Lamm,Todd P. Trooien +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a methodology for successful application of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) for corn production on the deep silt loam soils of the Central Great Plains, USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of drip irrigation on yield of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) under mulch and non-mulch conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the economic feasibility of growing cabbage crop under drip irrigation with mulches and found that the yield response under two organic mulches, rice husk with drip and paddy straw with drip, showed 2.05 and 1.18% higher yield when compared with drip (VD) alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Sprinkler, Trickle, Subsurface, and Furrow Irrigation Methods for Row Crops1
TL;DR: The subsurface irrigation method appears to offer the best method of supplying uniform soil moisture in the root zone to the plant throughout the growing season, resulting in highest yields and high water-use efficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of high frequency surface and subsurface drip irrigation on root distribution of sweet corn
TL;DR: In this paper, root distribution of sweet corn grown under high frequency surface (S) and subsurface (SS) drip irrigation, fertilized daily through drip systems at three phosphorus levels of P0 (no injected P), P1 (P injected at 67 kg/ha) and P2 (P infused at 134 kg/h).
