A theoretical model developed by the authors for determining the optimal moment to substitute sprayer and pressure regulator kit on a center pivot irrigating potatoes and beans has been applied. The methodology compares ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the utilization of different values of maximum crop evapotranspiration as irrigation trigger on growth, yield and yield components of potato, pear and apple plants. Experiments ...

The water footprint is an indicator of freshwater resources appropriation which brings valuable insight about the environmental impact of consuming a given product. The aim of this study is to quantify the water footprint ...

Sweet potato is an amylaceous root of high potential for use in the production of bioethanol. However, its productivity is intrinsically linked to the environmental and management factors, in which the availability of water ...

Potato is one of the main food crops and is widely adapted to diverse environments worldwide. Although the genetic origin of the current improved potatoes is relatively narrow, physiological traits, nutritional traits, and ...

Under the current water crisis in agriculture, irrigation methods for saving and conserving water are necessary. However, these methods must guarantee an appropriate yield with a concomitant economic benefit and a reduced ...
