Deficit irrigation based on drought tolerance and root signalling in potatoes and tomatoes
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
Agriculture is a big consumer of fresh water in competition with other sectors of the society. Within the EU-project SAFIR new water-saving irrigation strategies were developed based on pot, semi-field and field experiments ...
Irrigation as a climate change impact mitigation measure: An agronomic and economic assessment of maize production in Serbia
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
Maize is the most important agricultural product in Serbia, providing the largest revenue stream. Maize production in Serbia is largely rainfed and dependent on weather conditions. In the past four decades, the area of ...
Evaluation of the FAO Aqua Crop model for winter wheat on the North China Plain under deficit irrigation from field experiment to regional yield simulation
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
Winter wheat is the main crop on the North China Plain (NCP), and in this region the most limiting factor for the crop is water. The objective of this study was to adapt and test the ability of the FAO-developed AquaCrop ...
Assessment of the FAO AquaCrop model in the simulation of rainfed and supplementally irrigated maize, sugar beet and sunflower
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2011)
Farming in Serbia is traditionally rainfed. Analyses show that drought events of varying severity are frequent in this region, although there is no specific pattern. There is a distinct need for an objective assessment of ...
Effect of irrigation regime and application of kaolin on yield, quality and water use efficiency of sweet pepper
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
The present paper reports research that focused on the effect of kaolin on the yield, quality and water use efficiency of the sweet pepper Capsicum annuum L, grown under different irrigation regimes. The research was ...
Impact of irrigation with treated low quality water on the heavy metal contents of a soil-crop system in Serbia
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
Water availability for irrigation is a limiting factor for agriculture in Mediterranean countries. An upcoming strategy for increasing water supply is to use treated wastewater for irrigation. A principal drawback of ...
Faecal contamination and hygiene aspect associated with the use of treated wastewater and canal water for irrigation of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum)
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
Clean water has become one of the main limiting factors in agricultural food production in Europe, especially for countries around the Mediterranean, who now face more severe and-frequent seasonal water shortages. In order ...
Predicting biomass and yield of sweet pepper grown with and without plastic film mulching under different water supply and weather conditions
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2017)
The applicability of the FAO AquaCrop model to simulate sweet pepper growth with and without plastic film mulching under different water supply and weather conditions is assessed. Pepper yield and biomass are simulated ...
Effect of irrigation regime on yield, harvest index and water productivity of soybean grown under different precipitation conditions in a temperate environment
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
In temperate climatic regions, agricultural production depends on precipitation amount and its distribution during the growing season. A 3-year field study was conducted to investigate the effects of different irrigation ...
Grain yield and water use efficiency of maize as influenced by different irrigation regimes through sprinkler irrigation under temperate climate
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2016)
In Vojvodina region, water deficit during the growing season is a major factor limiting maize production. Therefore, to achieve the ideal soil water content in this region, it is of crucial importance to optimize irrigation. ...
