Irrigation has been used for millennia to increase the quantity and reliability of food and fibre production in areas where lack of precipitation limits plant growth. Despite the importance of irrigation, our u
Impacts of aquaculture wastewater irrigation on soil microbial functional diversity and community structure in arid regions. Chen L J,Feng Q,Li C S,et al. Scientific Reports . 2017Chen, L.; Feng, Q.; Li, C.; Wei, Y.; Zhao, Y.; Feng, Y.; Zheng, H.; Li, F.; Li, H. Impacts...
Carrot was grown on a sandy soil and surface-irrigated with a water having an ECi of 3.6 dS/m. For the three years, a complete randomized block design with four replicates was used to evaluate five irrigation regimes. Four irrigation methods were based on the use of soil water balance (...

(2) What are the impacts of various environmental and socioeconomic factors (e.g., climate change, diet change, irrigation technologies, crop planting strategies, and water diversion) on the food–energy–water–CO2(FEWC) nexus in the NCP? (3) What are the impacts of irrigated agriculture ...
(Fenta et al.2016). As a result, it can have serious implications for irrigation agriculture and related investments in different parts of the country. Thus, soil erosion caused by water is a severe problem of the country both in its onsite (e.g., productivity loss, soil fertility loss) ...
