Description : Microirrigation for Crop Production: Design, Operation, and Management has long been the go-to foundational resource for the basics of the engineering and science of the design and operation of micoirrigation systems. Since its original publication, however, there have been advances in the understanding of the science and methods used in the design and operation of microirrigation systems.Now fully revised and updated, this new edition includes novel methods for measurement and estimation of evapotranspiration, resource-efficient microirrigation design and operation, advanced irrigation scheduling methods and tools, novel methods and technology of microirrigation automation, monitoring and control, updates in crop salinity tolerance and leaching practices, variable rate irrigation, updates on the use of biological effluents and chemicals and pesticides to include safety and regulatory concerns. The revised book will provide an understanding to the basic science needed to comprehend system design, operation, management, maintenance, monitoring, and performance evaluation.
