Closed circuit trickle irrigation is a form of micro irrigation
that increases energy and water efficiency by using closed circuit
drip irrigation systems designs. Modifications are made to
traditional micro irrigation methods to reduce some of the problems
and constraints, such as low compressor water at the end of
irrigation lines. This approach has proved successful for the
irrigation of fruit trees and some vegetable and field crops.
Closed circuits of drip irrigation systems require about half of
the water needed by sprinkler or surface irrigation. Lower
operating pressures and flow rates result in reduced energy costs,
and a higher degree of water control is attainable as well. Plants
can be supplied with more precise amounts of water, and disease and
insect damage is reduced because plant foliage stays dry.
Fertilizers can also be applied through this type of system, which
can result in a reduction of fertilizer and fertilizer costs. This
new volume in the Research Advances in Sustainable Micro Irrigation
book series presents a diverse collection of research on closed
circuit irrigational technology and design and provides studies of
its use on such crops as wheat, maize, yellow corn, soybeans, rice,
and snap peas. The book explores: * Soil moisture and salinity
distributions under modified sprinkler irrigation * Performance of
sprinkler irrigation * Design considerations for closed circuit
drip irrigation systems * Performance of bubbler irrigation *
Energy and water savings of drip irrigation systems * Automation of
mini-sprinkler and drip irrigation systems * Water and fertilizer
use efficiencies for drip irrigated maize * Evaluation of emitter
clogging for drip irrigated systems This book will be valuable for
those interested in irrigation planning and management, namely,
researchers, scientists, educators, upper-level students,
agricultural extension services, and others.
