Irrigated agriculture is facing rising competition worldwide for access to reliable, low cost, and high-quality water resources. However, irrigation as the major tool and determinant of affecting agricultural productivity and environmental resources plays a critical role in food security and environment sustainability. Innovative irrigation technologies and practices may enhance agricultural water efficiency and production, in the meantime decrease the water demand and quality issues. I am very pleased to invite you to submit manuscripts in agricultural irrigation which assess current challenges and offer improvement approaches and opportunities for future irrigation.Biology, life sciencesbicsscavailable water capacitybenchmarkingbiomass productioncenter-pivot irrigationclimate change adaptationcover cropcrop evapotranspirationdeficit irrigationdowny mildewdrip irrigationenergy auditevaluation of performancefarming dataglobal sensitivity analysisgreenhouse gas emissioninfiltration depthirrigated cropsirrigationirrigation managementirrigation water regimesirrigation water use efficiencyleaf mineral compositionlettuce productionlife cycle assessmentMediterranean regionmodel simulationmonthly changesmulchnet irrigation requirementsoptimal irrigation timeorganic productionperformance indicatorprecision agricultureprincipal component analysispumping plantsrow coversalinizationsemi-arid regionssite-specific irrigationslope gradientspinachtemperature variationstomato fruit yieldtotal yieldtreated wastewater irrigationwater application rateBiology, life sciencesMontazar Aliasgharauth1301175BOOK9910367740803321Agricultural Irrigation3025763UNINA
