For Trevor Hardy of Brookdale Fruit Farm, flexible irrigation design is the key to managing unpredictable weather, limited ...

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

Sprinklers, which spray water into the air where it is easily evaporated or lost to the wind, are inherently inefficient. They spread water over large areas, regardless of whether there are roots ...

If you've got a box of extra PVC pipes and fittings sitting your shed or garage from a previous project, you're halfway to ...

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 ...

Efficient water use is important to superintendents. Precisely irrigating small or isolated tees is challenging with traditional sprinklers. New Mexico State University scientists evaluated four ...

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 ...
