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

Sommario/riassunto

Continents and Supercontinents surveys the origin of continents and the accretion and breakup of supercontinents through earth history. It also shows how these processes affected the composition of seawater, climate, and the evolution of life.
