Part 1 will help you choose the irrigation system that is right for you, and Part 2 will help you select, operate and maintain your pumping equipment. Part 1 If you are installing or upgrading an irrigation system you will probably be seeking to increase production, decrease the amount of water used or reduce labour required. Part one of this book is about selecting the irrigation system that is best for your enterprise. It is an overview of: · the most widely used irrigation methods in NSW · the capabilities and limitations of the most widely used irrigation methods in NSW · the major issues to consider when selecting an irrigation system · the basic financial analysis you can use to determine the viability of a system you are considering. Part 2 You can save money by increasing productivity and efficiency of your irrigation system if you can improve the performance of the pump. This section about the features of common irrigation pumps helps you to select, operate and maintain your pumping equipment. It contains information on pump types, duty, curves and selection. It contains an explanation of: · the common types of pumps for irrigation systems · pumping head components: static head; suction head; velocity head; friction loss · manufacturers’ pump curves · maintenance and troubleshooting procedures for pumps.

Download or read book Irrigation Scheduling written by Jennifer Laffan and published by NSW Agriculture. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scheduling irrigation is about planning when and how much water to apply to a crop to achieve crop production or a particular quality. The principles of scheduling water apply to all crops, however the critical timing, methods and techniques can vary with the crop. This book is about: · the ways in which specific crops respond to stress and the effects of the timing and degree of stress and the growth stage of the crop · evapotranspiration (ET) and crop water use to schedule irrigations · developing an irrigation schedule · terms used to describe the amount of water available to a crop · soil moisture probes and where to locate them · water quality issues to consider.

Download or read book Principles of Agronomy for Sustainable Agriculture written by Francisco J. Villalobos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-25 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook explains the various aspects of sustainable agricultures to undergraduate and graduate students. The book first quantifies the components of the crop energy balance, i.e. the partitioning of net radiation, and their effect on the thermal environment of the canopy. The soil water balance and the quantification of its main component (evapotranspiration) are studied to determine the availability of water to rain fed crops and to calculate crop water requirements. Then it sets the limitations of crop production in relation to crop phenology, radiation interception and resource availability (e.g. nutrients). With that in mind the different agricultural techniques (sowing, tillage, irrigation, fertilization, harvest, application of pesticides, etc.) are analyzed with special emphasis in quantifying the inputs (sowing rates, fertilizer amounts, irrigation schedules, tillage plans) required for a given target yield under specific environmental conditions (soil & climate). For all techniques strategies are provided for improving the ratio productivity/resource use while ensuring sustainability. The book comes with online practical focusing on the key aspects of management in a crop rotation (collecting weather data, calculating productivity, sowing rates, irrigation programs, fertilizers rates etc).
