Technological Interventions in Management of Irrigated Agriculture

This book offers solutions to address agricultural water management challenges in today’s water-scarce areas of the world. The authors present studies on farmer-friendly irrigation scheduling methods, model-based analysis of crop water requirements, ways to optimize surface irrigation systems, and hydraulic design and management of surface water systems. It also highlights ways to improve soil properties by taking into account spatial, temporal, and spectral variability in soil properties. It covers new research on soil and water productivity of vegetables under water-stressed areas, application of coir geotextiles, and the role of biofertilizers in controlling soil degradation._x005F_x000D_
