Microirrigation, the slow and targeted application of irrigation water to prescribed soil volumes, has become the fastest growing segment of the Irrigation industry worldwide and has the potential to increase the quantity and quality of food supply through Improved water and fertilizer efficiency. Continuous research and development have Improved emitter design, system design and installation, water filtration and treatment, and system and crop management.
Advancements in computers and data acquisition have also enhanced the ability to monitor and control the microirrigation system which has led to broad acceptance in both large and small commercial field operations. Plicroirrigation for Crop Production describes the remarkable advancements achieved In microirrigation design, operation, and management since 1986. This valuable resource for researchers in irrigation engineering and agronomic sciences provides management considerations for the four major types of microirrigation : Surface Drip, Subsurface Drip, Bubbler.
arid Microsprinkler. Examples of design techniques and component selection for each system type as well as the necessary background for successful Implementation of these systems are also provided. Key features : Offers historical and theoretical background of microirrigation and discussion of global perspectives ; Lists key advantages, disadvantages and examples of each system type ; Over 150 figures of designs and charts of systems including, surface drip, subsurface drip, bubblers and microsprinhlers, and more.
