Irrigation is very important for ensuring food security and reducing crop production
vulnerability caused by the lack of rain. Sustainable irrigation is the rational practice of all the …

Accurate seasonal forecasting of cereal yields is an important decision support tool for
countries, such as Morocco, that are not self-sufficient in order to predict, as early as …

The intensification of irrigated agriculture is a prerequisite for fulfilling the rising food
requirements of the burgeoning global population. But the expansion of irrigated agriculture …

The use of superabsorbent polymers or hydrogels could increase the water holding capacity
(WHC) of sandy soil and reduce water loss by deep percolation. However, hydrogels' …

In this work, an innovative cellulose-based superabsorbent polymer (SAP) was
experimentally assessed as an environmentally friendly alternative to acrylate-based SAPs …

A precise estimate of the evapotranspiration (ET) partitioning is fundamental for determining
the crop water needs and optimizing irrigation management. The plant transpiration (T) is …

Monitoring of water resources and a better understanding of the eco-hydrological processes
governing their dynamics are necessary to anticipate and develop measures to adapt to …

The Haouz aquifer is undergoing climatic aridity and anthropic pressure largely related to
the agricultural sector. In this study, special attention was given to the main factors that have …
