Improving agricultural water use efficiency (WUE) is vitally
important in many parts of the world due to the decreasing
availability of water resources and the increasing competition for
water between different users. Micro irrigation is an effective
tool for conserving water resources. Studies have revealed a
significant water savings, ranging from 40% to 70% under drip
irrigation compared with surface irrigation. This new volume,
Engineering Interventions in Sustainable Trickle Irrigation:
Irrigation Requirements and Uniformity, Fertigation, and Crop
Performance, presents valuable research that evaluates crop water
and fertigation requirements, examines optimum irrigation and
fertigation scheduling, and analyzes the performance of
agricultural crops under micro irrigation. With an
interdisciplinary perspective, this volume addresses the urgent
need to explore and investigates the current shortcomings and
challenges of water resources engineering, especially in micro
irrigation engineering. The volume discusses crop water
requirements, fertigation technology, and performance of
agricultural crops under best management practices. The chapter
authors present research studies on drip irrigated tomato, chilies,
cucumber, eggplant, cabbage, garlic, sugarcane maize, cashew nut,
sapota, banana, mango, and blueberries. Removing the research gap,
this volume provides new information that will be valuable to those
involved in micro irrigation engineering.
