Monitoring Soil Moisture for Irrigation Water Management
Author: Blaine HansonPublisher: University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources
ISBN: 9781601074812
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
Monitoring soil moisture is an alternate method to water-based balance methods of managing irrigation water. Using this method you can "see" what is going on in the soil and determine answers to some key irrigation management questions: Did enough water infiltrate the soil? Is too much water being applied? What is the water uptake pattern of the roots? When should irrigation take place? What was the depth reached by the irrigation? Includes 24 figures and 7 tables, metric conversions, and an appendix of typical root depths. One of a series of water management handbooks prepared by the UC Irrigation Program.
Estimating Soil Moisture by Feel and Appearance
Author: Soil Water Monitoring & Measurement
Author: Principles of Soil and Plant Water Relations
Author: M.B. KirkhamPublisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0124200788
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 599
Book Description
Principles of Soil and Plant Water Relations, 2e describes the principles of water relations within soils, followed by the uptake of water and its subsequent movement throughout and from the plant body. This is presented as a progressive series of physical and biological interrelations, even though each topic is treated in detail on its own. The book also describes equipment used to measure water in the soil-plant-atmosphere system. At the end of each chapter is a biography of a scientist whose principles are discussed in the chapter. In addition to new information on the concept of celestial time, this new edition also includes new chapters on methods to determine sap flow in plants dual-probe heat-pulse technique to monitor water in the root zone. - Provides the necessary understanding to address advancing problems in water availability for meeting ecological requirements at local, regional and global scales - Covers plant anatomy: an essential component to understanding soil and plant water relations
Methods of Soil Analysis, Part 4
Author: Jacob H. DanePublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 089118841X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1744
Book Description
The best single reference for both the theory and practice of soil physical measurements, Methods, Part 4 adopts a more hierarchical approach to allow readers to easily find their specific topic or measurement of interest. As such it is divided into eight main chapters on soil sampling and statistics, the solid, solution, and gas phases, soil heat, solute transport, multi-fluid flow, and erosion. More than 100 world experts contribute detailed sections.
Soil Moisture Importance
Author: Ram Swaroop MeenaPublisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 1839680954
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Poor soil and water management are often related to insufficient or poor rainfall distribution around the world. In modern agriculture, over-cultivation, deforestation, overgrazing, and high dependence on an irrigated cropping system with water-intensive crops increase soil and water erosion. This book examines ways of improving soil moisture management to support environmental, food, social, and economic security under a sustainable ecosystem.
