Sandy soils are widely distributed across the world. Due to the growing global population
and urbanization, these soils are increasingly used to provide food, feed, fiber, energy, and …

In an effort to improve plant growth and to achieve high yield and/or quality, irrigation
scheduling (IS) seeks to provide plants with appropriate quantities of water at appropriate …

Forage crop productivity has lately reduced in countries located in arid and semi-arid
regions worldwide due to intensive consumption and the successive years of drought. This …

Global drylands, covering about 41% of Earth's surface and inhabited by 38% of the world's
population, are facing the stark challenges of water scarcity, low water productivity, and food …

Supplying organic compost and mulching could be a practical solution to alleviate the
negative effects of water stress on sorghum (bicolor L. Moench) in newly reclaimed soils. For …

Highlights The progress made in agricultural irrigation scheduling in the past ten years and
the current challenges are discussed. The main scientific scheduling strategies are based …

Site-specific soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) are critical for determining irrigation thresholds
and adopting the best irrigation practices. In this study, we optimized two single-layer SHPs …

Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) is one of the most essential hydraulic properties that
play fundamental role in various environmental issues and water management. SWCC gives …

Data-driven irrigation planning can optimize crop yield and reduce adverse impacts on
surface and ground water quality. We evaluated an irrigation scheduling strategy based on …

The determination of field capacity (FC), irrigation thresholds, and irrigation amounts is
characterized by site-specific soil hydraulic properties (SHPs). This study, conducted in two …
