Laboratory study was conducted to examine whether there is any beneficial effect of magnetically treated water on its quality and seedling emergence in sandculture. Water of various types like tap water, saline water, canal water and sewerage water was applied. Results revealed that the application of magnetized water promoted the germination rate of maize seeds, regardless of magnetic strength or flow rate. Seeds irrigated with magnetized water grew faster, higher and heavier than the untreated water and a significant effect appear with magnetized sewerage water. On the other hand, there was negligible effect of magnetically treated water on quality parameters like EC, pH, and SAR. The results are presented in this book that certainly enhance learning among researcher, scientists and students and helps planning research studies The authors appreciate the efforts of Barthlemy Chaton and his team in facilitating during book finalization and highly acknowledge publishing of this book by LAMBERT Publishing House Ltd., for technical knowledge sharing internationally.

Field study was conducted to evaluate the Performance of Hose-reel Machine for wheat crop growth was studied. The machine was operated at 55 psi to 67 psi pressure and field data was collected. Results of the study revealed that the cart gun covered a maximum wetted radius of 40.8 m at 62 psi. The application efficiency was maximum as 75.65% at the base pressure of 60 psi and the distribution uniformity as 73.85% at 62 psi. The wheat crop yield per unit area found to vary from 25% to 30% higher with the Hose-reel Sprinkler system.This book certainly enhance learning among researcher, scientists, students and farm mangers and helps planning research studies. The authors appreciate the efforts of Barthlemy Chaton and his team in facilitating and highly acknowledge publishing of it by LAMBERT Academic Publishing for technical knowledge sharing internationally.

Performance of Drip irrigation has been recognized throughout the world especially in terms of water saving. Even though a lot work has been done but still, a lot need to be done, under changing field environment. Present study focus on the testing the surface and subsurface drip irrigation on moisture distribution within the field irrigated environment. Results of the study are presented in this technical book. This book certainly enhance learning among researcher, scientists, students and farm mangers and helps planning research studies. The author acknowledge PCRWR in full support for field experiments and appreciate the efforts of Barthlemy Chaton and his team in facilitating and highly acknowledge publishing of it by VDM Publishing House Ltd., for technical knowledge sharing internationally.

Surge Advance Prediction and Evaluation 'SAPE' model was developed empirically and presented for comparing and field evaluation of surge and continuous irrigation. The empirical approach presented in this book certainly helps researcher, scientists, students and farm manger in the efficient utilization and management of water in field irrigated environment. The author has presented his research work chapter wise in this technical book that is extracted from PhD thesis entitled, "Development and Calibration of Surge Irrigation Performance Evaluation Model. At the end of this book, a list of references has been given that would helps the readers for further reading. The author appreciate the efforts of Barthlemy Chaton and his team in providing guidance for book finalization and highly acknowledge publishing of it by VDM Publishing House Ltd. for scientific knowledge dissemination that certainly would be valued in near future.
