No irrigation system can distribute water perfectly evenly across an entire field. Center pivot irrigation involves a powered structure that rotates a steel pipe with sprinklers to water crops. But ...

The performance of drip irrigation systems is critically influenced by clogging mechanisms that reduce hydraulic efficiency and compromise water distribution uniformity. Sediment deposition, calcium ...

Drip irrigation applies water through small holes called emitters in a network of hoses or pipes rather than through broadcasting sprinklers or hoses. It delivers the water more closely to the root ...

An almond orchard in Parlier provides a look into the future of farming. Researchers at UC Merced and the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources installed an irrigation system ...

Researchers from China's Northwest A&F University have developed a novel drip irrigation system powered by PV, which stores energy in the form of compressed air. The use of compressed air not only ...
