And in our farming system, if we don't control our summer weeds, what we end up is what we call a soil moisture deficit. And in that case there's still water molecules in the soil but our winter crops are simply not strong enough to pull these molecules off. So what happens, w...
It would be easy to dismiss the lure of such hype. But word of their feat—“the first great experiment in irrigation by the Anglo-Saxon race”—reached all the way to Istanbul, to the attic where my grandfather Arax was hiding from the Turks in 1918. His uncle, who had lost his wif...
Another way to use your laundry water is to route it directly into an irrigation system. This will take a little more work as you'll need to dig trenches and lay pipe that can carry the drainage to your plants. Because laundry water isn't completely sterile or free of contaminants, ...
a term used to refer to the waste products that fish themselves produce while alive. In anaquaponics system, fish live in a tank or pond system attached to a garden space. As the fish produce waste and it breaks down in the water, a pump will direct some of the water to the garden....

Similarly, an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events has a substantial influence on food production, eventually, food security [31]. Furthermore, the impact of climate change further extends to the water table, rising salinity, irrigation water quality, soil fertility, ...
Irrigation was turned off during seed development for two weeks to generate a condition of drought stress (14 days from sowing). While the soil naturally dried during the maturation process, soils at the seedling stage were given 25% of the entire water requirement (5 percent). Other corn-...
How to Prime a Water Pump Water pumps will run out of pressure and stop working if turned off for an extended period of time, such as over the winter. In order to get the pump working again, it needs to "primed": water needs to be flushed back in... ...
Frequency converters for example are already used in irrigation for fruit production and electricity saving in cold storage in South Africa [30] and were thus chosen as one clean technology. In addition, the use of photovoltaic electricity was also assessed to be very effective in irrigated arable...
