The objective of efficient water management in vineyards is to save water, increase yield, and improve berry quality. So far, the effects of rice-straw mulching (M) and/or sub-surface seeper hose irrigation (SS) on grapevine's performance and water use are not clear. An experiment was conducted...

The evaporation of soil water (Es) is an important component of the water balance in cropping systems. Although Es is considered to be non-beneficial (not directly related to crop production), it may indirectly influence water availability for transpiration which is directly related to crop...

Over the last decade, bamboo plantations have started to be used as vegetation filters for wastewater treatment. This treatment system can be useful in reducing wastewater discharge into the environment, thus contributing to the preservation of water resources by using the plantation's...

Lysimetric experiments were conducted to investigate the percentage of groundwater contributions made by Black cumin (Nigella sativa L.). The plants were grown in 27 columns, each with a diameter of 0.40m and packed with Silty clay soil. The factorial experiments were carried out using three...

The oxidation of sulphidic materials upon drainage of acid sulphate (AS) soils causes episodic hazards to aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Reintroducing a high groundwater level, in order to turn the soil reactions back to reduction, is an option to alleviate the environmental loading from these...
