Center Pivot irrigation is the primary agricultural method for growing crops in the Algerian Sahara desert. Drawing water from the Sub-Saharan aquifer, crops are planted, irrigated and harvested throughout the year. Potatoes, for example, are commonly grown throughout the region and are harvested in the month of August. When the crops are ready to harvest, the cells within the leaves above the soil stop dividing. This natural process, referred to as senescence, can be detected from space using red-edge spectral bands. Using a plant senescence reflectance index, crops ready to harvest are highlighted in dark green. Plants still in a growth stage are indicated in light green/yellow. Areas in orange indicate desert sand, where no crops are growing. The high resolution of Dragonette-001 also uncovers the faint outline of adjacent center pivots where crops have already been harvested, and are in the process of being seeded for the next growing season. #wyvern #hyperspectral #satelliteimagery #spacetechnology #smallsat

Oligro Sonacid Salinity in field crops and greenhouses causes yield losses in crop production. Salinity occurs in field and greenhouses where irrigation and evaporation from the soil surface are frequent. Plants grown in such areas have difficulty in taking water and nutrients, depending on the level of salinization in the soil, and the desired yields cannot be obtained. With Oligro Sonacid, salinity problems are minimized. Oligro Sonacid helps in desalination of soils. It is also very effective in cleaning drip irrigation systems. It can be used with water-soluble nutrient elements. It provides ease of mixing in foliar applications. It provides nitrogen source due to its special contents. It helps to wash sodium and other associated ions and to rehabilitate salty and calcareous soils.

### 1. **Temperature Changes** - **Crop Viability**: Rising temperatures can alter the growing seasons for many crops. Some regions may become unsuitable for traditional crops, while others may see new opportunities for different varieties. - **Heat Stress**: Increased temperatures can cause heat stress in plants, reducing yields, affecting quality, and leading to increased irrigation needs.

#NewWorkingPaper Alert!! We estimate the impacts of India’s #NutriFarm program on wheat yields. We identify increased irrigation and changing composition of NPK fertilizers as potential mediating channels for our findings. Our results inform policy as we calculate that simply profits from increased wheat yields can recover upto 2% of the overall costs of the program annually. Joint work with Sarthak Agarwal #agriculture #yields #productivity #nutrifarms #npkfertilizer #wheat #economics #developmenteconomics #agriculturaleconomics

The vertical cultivation tower system can create the largest area under cultivation in the minimum space. In 100 square meters of space, as much as 1200 square meters of one-level greenhouse can be harvested. In this system, because irrigation is done with a closed method, water consumption is reduced by 96% compared to open methods. Due to the use of aeroponic method, the growth rate of plants can be increased up to 2.6 times with this method.

CGIAR #IntheNews 🌾Farmers in the Dera Ismail Khan and Tank districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are adapting climate-resilient agricultural practices. Guided by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), they are transitioning from traditional methods to innovative techniques like drip irrigation, raised-bed cultivation, and crop rotation. This shift was tested during April's unexpected rains. While traditional wheat fields suffered, crops on raised beds thrived, showcasing the benefits of modern practices.

If you followed my last post where I talked on the problems of Agriculture in Africa you would notice that Irrigation is one of the problems Irrigation is the artificial application of water to soil for promoting the growth of crops. It helps ensure a consistent water supply, especially in areas with insufficient rainfall. Irrigation as a problem of Agriculture in Africa In Africa, irrigation faces challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, limited access to technology, and water scarcity. Many farmers rely on rain-fed agriculture, making them vulnerable to climate variability. Improved irrigation systems and sustainable water management are crucial for enhancing agricultural productivity in the region. Keep following as I would talk on how to solve the problem of irrigation In Africa. I still remain #youraspiringAgronomist #Elizabethinori #GoalZeroHunger

Saline irrigation impacts Agro-Physiological and Biochemical traits of select Quinoa cultivars under field conditions. In areas where water is scarce, farmers sometimes use salty water for irrigation. We conducted field experiments in North Sinai during the quinoa growing seasons of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. We looked at six types of quinoa plants and how they grew and produced seeds when irrigated with salty water. Some plants grew faster and yielded more seeds than others. One type, Q-Q37-1, was the fastest to mature, while another, Regeolona, grew slower. The seeds also varied in their protein, carbohydrate, fat, and saponin content. https://lnkd.in/gu4gGwZD #PlantNutrition #SustainableFarming #CropManagement #Agroecology
