Soil moisture was monitored during planting, two days before and after each irrigation, and at harvest. The results were expressed as a percentageof total profile use. Dastane52states that the soil moisture content and available meteorological data were used to calculate the water consumption, rate ...
The results of the study show that there is a significant inverse relationship between the availability of groundwater irrigation and the percentage of rural poverty at all eight time points. States like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and West Bengal continue to suffer with severe poverty where the...
place in India’s agriculture and food security in recent years. Over the past three decades it has become the main source of growth in irrigated areas, and now accounts for over 60 per cent of the irrigated area in the country. It is ...
Fig. 1: Comparison of pre-monsoon (April–May) and monsoon (June–September) in India. Irrigation feedback on heat stress Previous model-driven studies1,3,12show that irrigation over the Indo-Gangetic Plain has the potential to decrease pre-monsoon dry heat by surface cooling and increase pre...
Many crops are irrigated by the drip method in India with the tree crops occupying the maximum percentage of the total area under drip irrigation, followed by vine crops, vegetables, field crops, flowers and other crops. In drip irrigation, water is applied near the plant root...
BACKGROUND:Different temperature conditions can affect the efficiency of irrigation solutions and consequently the ability of canal sealers to bond to root canal walls. The aim of this endodontic study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation solutions a
The second stage classifier is trained with a small dataset of very high quality estimates of irrigated area, and builds on the output of the first stage to produce a final estimate of the percentage of area irrigated at the pixel scale. The choice of first stage classifier is driven by ...
Although salts and especially Na+are found in the influent and effluent of wastewater treatment plants, the sodium percentage in the effluent can be higher than in the influent, as shown for a plant in India by Gautam et al.178. Chávez et al.179showed that Ca2+was not removed, Na+was ...
Markandeya River basin stretches geographically from 15°56′ to 16°08′ N latitude and 74°37′ to 74°58′ E longitude, positioned in the midst of Belgaum district, in the northern part of Karnataka. Since the quantity and quality of water available for irrigation in India is variable fr...
A high percentage of the population that is without adequate water facilities mainly for agricultural needs is concentrated in solar-abundant rural areas. Most of these areas are in developing and under-developed countries and are deprived of conventional sources of energies, either due to natural ...
