“…Soil moisture content can be used to determine an irrigation schedule. The moisture content of the soil is measured with the aid of instruments, these include FDR soil moisture meter (DIK-321A, Daiki Rika Kogyo Co. Ltd., Kounosu, Japan) [25,26] Fundamentals of Irrigation Methods and Their Impact on Crop Production DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.105501 and when soil moisture goes below a critical level, irrigation commences. The soil moisture-based irrigation schedule takes into consideration the type of soil and its composition to determine the availability of water in the soil.…”

“…These visible changes including chlorosis, dried leaves, curling of leaves, and stunted growth were used to assess the timing of irrigation. To determine chlorosis and water stress for irrigation scheduling, a chlorophyll meter (SPAD 502 PLUS, Minolta corporation, Ltd., Japan) and a chlorophyll fluorometer (PAM-2000, Walz Co., Ltd., Effeltrich, Germany) [25] are used.…”

Water is the most precious resource on earth which is the sustenance of life. However, the competition for available water resources has intensified due to climate change and increase in global population. With a significant decrease in freshwater availability for crop production, agriculturists are open to innovation that could help save water and maximize crop production per unit drop of water. To ensure food security of a growing population, crop cultivation practices have continued to incorporate water-saving irrigation techniques to cope with water deficits, and increase crop production in an eco-friendly environment. This chapter discussed the different irrigation types based on driven-force and their specific advantages; fertigation; designing irrigation systems and scheduling of irrigation; water conservation through mulching; and water management for sustainable Integrated Pest Management (IPM). The introduction of water-saving techniques and their successful application has significantly reduced water loss through unproductive outflows and increase water and nutrients use efficiencies thereby promoting crop production. However, to achieve more success in the future, deliberate policy by government on irrigation and immense contributions from scientists would be required.

Increasing food production by developing small-scale irrigation schemes is a requirement for tackling household food insecurity. Strategies, such as the World Vision, Enhancing Nutrition, Stepping Up Resilience and Enterprise, have been established to enhance food availability in the drought-prone Burirano Ward 4, Chipinge, Zimbabwe, through the drip irrigation intervention. This study analysed the extent to which the drip intervention has increased food production, abilities, income and nutrition of households. Consequently, the key factors impacting the performance of the drip irrigation scheme were assessed. The study utilised a mixed-method convergent parallel design, drawing from semi-structured questionnaires administered on a census of 40 household beneficiaries as well as a focus group discussion of five key informants directly linked to the Chidzadza irrigation scheme, Burirano Ward 4, Chipinge, Zimbabwe. The findings show that the drip irrigation scheme significantly increased households’ food production abilities, nutrition and income. The main factors responsible for the success of the drip irrigation scheme are cheap labour from household members and agriculture extension support. Issues that prevent the success of the scheme include erratic rain supplies and damaged water pipes. Strategies to increase household food production through the drip irrigation scheme include maintenance of water pipes, an increase in water catchment areas and water availability through solar-powered borehole systems.

“…In recent years, dry direct-seeded rice with film mulching technique has been adopted to improve water utilization rate, reduce herbicide usage, and improve soil temperature after sowing in rice areas of northern China, which could effectively solve and mitigate the risk of direct-seeding rice [11][12][13]. Jabran et al [14] reported that plastic film mulching improved the soil moisture retention, and enhanced rice water productivity, grain yield, and rice quality.…”

Existing devices for dry direct-seeded rice with film mulching in northern China have limitations such as imprecise sowing, unadjustable sowing depth, and seeding device blocking. In this regard, this study proposes a combined seeding method of ‘mini shovel + telescopic pipe’ for dry direct-seeded rice with film mulching. A precision seeder for dry direct-seeded rice with film mulching was developed through theoretical calculations, discrete element modelling (DEM) simulations, and field experiments. The configuration and diameter of the rollers were obtained. Twelve telescopic pipes were evenly distributed on the circumference of the roller, with a contact ratio exceeding one. This ratio reduced the slip rate of the roller effectively. Subsequently, DEM was used to develop a 33 central composite design. The response surface was established with the sowing depth as the response value. According to agronomic requirements, the sowing depth was set to 20 mm. The optimal combination of working parameters was obtained by optimizing the regression equation. The field experiments showed that the performance of the precision seeder for dry direct-seeded rice with film mulching satisfied the requirements of agricultural production, working stably and reliably. The developed device represents a useful solution for dry direct-seeded rice with film mulching.
