Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water efficiency is becoming increasingly important in the face of the ongoing climate change. Many regions of the world face the challenge of droughts and precipitation shortages, which significantly affect agricultural production. For this reason, it is crucial to use adequate irrigation to meet plants' water needs and ensure their proper development. Modern irrigation techniques and intelligent solutions in agriculture are becoming increasingly important and help combat water shortages. This Special Issue discusses the use of advanced irrigation systems and their impact on plant crops. It also covers the maintenance and operation of irrigation systems and the relationship between soil, water, and plants. Articles related to water management regarding the ongoing climate change will also be extremely valuable.
The main topics covered in this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Precision and water-saving irrigation;
- Estimation of water requirements of plants;
- Water resource management;
- Innovative irrigation methods;
- Water management in the face of climate change;
- Operational problems of irrigation systems;
- Water–plant–soil relationship;
- Estimation of irrigation doses.
Original research papers as well as review articles are welcome in this Special Issue.
