Micro Irrigation - Science topic

Understand or define the topic (with bounds on it)

Develop a list of key words and search criteria

Determine the journals that you will search (sometimes a simple Google search is not effective in locating the correct papers)

Determine the time line (last 10 years, last 50 years, etc.)

Take the time to look at the titles of papers in the journals selected

Compile the papers

Read the papers

Write a review of the papers

Hello Prof.Sean,

Check on this website

This is an interesting area ...find below some useful PDFs relating the issue...

The raised bed technology should be avoided in high hills cold desert zone where cold waves may cause damage to crops. Under such situation sunken beds are recommended so that cold waves pass above the bed without having direct contact with it. In temperate zone suncken beds of full moon, half moon shape are recommended.   Another region is hot arid region where the soils are light (sandy soils). Again here raised beds are not recommended to safe guard the plants from hot waves

It depends on what you want to achieve.  In Guyana, very acid polder soils with resulting aluminium toxicity and flecks of elemental sulphur (pH 2-2.5) are reclaimed by using sea water.  The latter adds anions to the exchange complex and brings the pH to acceptable levels for growing crops ( pH 5-6).  Either natural rainfall or irrigation with fresh water washes out the excess salts and you have a useable soil for growing crops.

Micro-irrigation would add less total salts which wold make their removal in drains easier and more effective, provided you do not produce solonetzic soils with poor structure, low permeability and high density.

Stuart.

Thanks for your answer, I will try this

You are competing with Brazilian sugar. If you need to drip feed it, sugar is the wrong crop. Period.

Our contemporary utility matrix has for the most part evolved in designed isolation.  The problem here is that\ this creates silos of activity which miss the benefit of collaborative economic efficiencies in capital cost and operating cost.  Utility convergence is a trend and a necessity to achieve sustainable communities.  I would argue that waste to energy resource utilization is a critical component of this missed resource opportunity.  I am working on integrated distributed sustainable technology clusters at this time.  The evolving distributed satellite infrastructure concept will provide better resiliency, higher efficiency, dramatic reductions in ecological impact and a higher quality of life then contemporary centralized fragmented utility approaches.   The models do unfortunately require urban density demographics to achieve economic sustainability.

Using organic liquids with low pH value can be resolved CaCO3 clogging in drippers.

However, the low pH may cause unfavorable plant nutrition. The soil infiltration can also be affected negatively.
