Agronomic and physiological impacts of irrigation frequency on green basil (Ocimum basilicum L.)
… factor restricting agricultural production and irrigation globally, with sustainable agricultural development calling for less irrigation water use and more production per unit of water applied. Improved understanding of plant physiological responses to water stress, and the effect of irrigation …

Effects of deficit irrigation frequency on plant growth, water use and physiology of Pelargonium x hortorum and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Ailsa Craig)
… where water is a threatened resource, altering irrigation frequency may present a viable approach to reduce water use, without any negative effect on crop yield and/or quality. However, our understanding of the physiological impact of this approach in containers in a peat based substrate is …

The Fate of Dcpa and Diazinon in Turf Using Model Ecosystems
… research and to measure the effect of thatch and irrigation frequency on the transformation and movement of the two pesticides. Results from the experiments with Dacthal indicated the herbicide did not move from the point of application. The only movement of the herbicide occurred after …

Water Conservation Practices for Irrigation of Turfgrass Lawns
… requirements, particularly with regards to irrigation. It is important to manage irrigation in order to maximize water conservation without significantly reducing lawn quality. A series of field and greenhouse studies were conducted to investigate how water usage might be reduced in …

Water Use of Landscape Trees During Pot-In-Pot Production and During Establishment in the Landscape
… nutrient runoff will very likely dictate precise irrigation regimes for nursery managers in Virginia. Maximum plant growth with minimum input of water and fertilizer is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, water use and growth of red and sugar maple (Acer rubrum L. 'Franksred' and Acer …

Determination and modelling of energy consumption in wheat production using neural networks : "A case study in Canterbury Province, New Zealand"
… average, fertilizer and electricity (mostly for irrigation) were used more than other energy sources, at around 10,654 MJ/ha (47%) and 4,870 MJ/ha (22%), respectively. The average energy consumption for wheat production in irrigated farming systems and dryland farming systems was estimated at …

Effect of reduced irrigation on grapevine physiology, grape characteristics and wine composition in three Pinot noir vineyards with contrasting soils
… is crucial for winegrowers, because vineyard irrigation is commonly practiced in Waipara and water is expected to become scarcer in future seasons. Three Pinot noir vineyards having similar characteristics, but planted in three of the most representative types of soil of the Waipara region …
