Nitrate pollution of ground and surface water bodies all over the world is generally linked
with continually increasing global fertilizer nitrogen (N) use. But after 1990, with more …

Water availability is the most limiting factor for the crop production sector and one of the
main regulators of the spatial distribution of plants. Agriculture consumes more than two …

The prime objective of the study was to investigate the effect of sowing date and nitrogen
application rates on maize dry matter, grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency under rainfed …

Soil water content (SWC) is a key factor in optimizing the usage of water resources in
agriculture since it provides information to make an accurate estimation of crop water …

Nitrogen lost from fertilized soil is a potentially large source of atmospheric nitrous acid
(HONO), a major precursor of the hydroxyl radical. Yet, the impacts of fertilizer types and …

Drip irrigation under plastic film mulching with applications of the N-fertilizer is an excellent
agricultural strategy, resulting in saving irrigation water, improving N use efficiency, and …

The main goal of this research was to evaluate the potential of the HYDRUS-1D numerical
model for estimating the soil moisture (θ) at different depths, actual crop evapotranspiration …

Site-specific soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) are critical for determining irrigation thresholds
and adopting the best irrigation practices. In this study, we optimized two single-layer SHPs …

In this comparative research, we applied the HYDRUS (2D/3D) and SALTMED models to
investigate the influence of various water-saving irrigation strategies on maize water …

Estimation of all water fluxes temporally and spatially within and out of the crop root zone,
and evaluation of issues like salinity and nutrient leaching, are necessary to fully appraise …
