Scarcity of fresh water has led to use of low quality waters (high sodicity and salinity) that
were considered unsuitable for irrigation in the past. Mismanagement of irrigation using this …

Despite the widespread use of drip irrigation and fertigation, there is limited research on soil
wetting patterns and nutrient distribution from drip emitters in agricultural soils. We …

Maintenance of soil permeability is paramount to irrigation, especially as the use of saline-
sodic waters increase. While research has shown that, soil permeability can be maintained …

Structural changes in the porous media are critical in evaluating the soil pore system and
other physical properties of leached soil. In this work, the combination of selected physical …

Declining soil-saturated hydraulic conductivity (K s) as a result of saline and sodic irrigation
water is a major cause of soil degradation. While it is understood that the mechanisms that …

Core Ideas Soil‐specific pedotransfer functions can be incorporated into the HYDRUS
model. Electrolyte concentration reduces the adverse effect of pH and Na on soil structural …

Chia is an ancient crop from Central America which has been recently rediscovered as a
source of plant omega-3 fatty acids and nutraceuticals. Field experiments were conducted to …

Irrigation mosaics are irrigation schemes in which small patches of irrigation occur within a
region rather than irrigation of one large contiguous area. This report investigates methods …
