Sommario/riassunto |
|
This new book, Sustainable Practices in Surface and Subsurface Micro Irrigation, offers a vast amount of knowledge and techniques necessary to develop and manage a drip/trickle or micro irrigation system. The information covered has worldwide applicability to irrigation management in agriculture. Focusing on both subsurface and surface micro irrigation, chapters in the book cover a variety of new research and information on: Irrigation water requirements for tanier, vegetables, bananas, plantains, beans, and papaya Irrigating different types of soils, including sandy soils, wet soils, and moll |
