This manual (most of whose modules were originally published 2001-2002) aims at strengthening various aspects of irrigation development, mainly emphasizing the engineering, agronomic and economic aspects of smallholder irrigation, in view of the limited practical references available in this area. It also introduces the irrigation practitioner to the social, health and environmental aspects, providing a bridge between the various disciplines involved in irrigation development.--Publisher's description.
The comprehensive and compact presentation in this book is the perfect format for a resource/textbook for undergraduate students in the areas of Agricultural Engineering, Biological Systems Engineering, Bio-Science Engineering, Water Resource Engineering, and Civil & Environmental Engineering. This book will also serve as a reference manual for researchers and extension workers in such diverse fields as agricultural engineering, agronomy, ecology, hydrology, and meteorology.
This book is intended as a text for undergraduate students of Agriculture. It is useful to research scholars and other professionals in the field of agriculture development and management especially under teaching stream. Introductory Agronomy involves several basic subjects like agronomy, soil and water, farm machinery, entomology, engineering, soil science and plant breeding and genetics etc. For an integrated development and management of agriculture knowledge of all these subjects are necessary for undergraduate students. A sincere attempt is made to provide such prospective to the students. A fundamental knowledge of identification of crops, seeds, weeds, fertilizers and plant protection chemicals, water quality analysis and measurement will be needed in crop planning under different situations. Therefore, an attempt has been to present the topics relevant to the needs of the agronomy. Thus, book is therefore, designed to fulfill the need for students of agriculture and serves as reference tool for the teachers in the field of Agronomy from all points of view.
Over 80 years of UC research plus industry and grower experience and innovation are brought together in this production manual. Covers all aspects of the California system of raisin production from vineyard planting and development, pest management, cultural practices, harvesting, drying, handling, and economic considerations, to inspection and marketing. Chapters on grapevine physiology, growth and development, fruitfulness, fruit ripening and drying, characteristics, and raisin quality factors reveal the latest in technology and best practices. This 280 page manual is illustrated with 86 color and black and white photographs, 44 tables, and 72 graphs and line drawings. A detailed appendix outlines resources and organizations in the California raisin industry.
Irrigation with Reclaimed Municipal Wastewater - A Guidance Manual is for use in the planning, design, and operation of agricultural and landscape irrigation systems using reclaimed municipal wastewater. It is written for civil and sanitary engineers, agricultural engineers, and agricultural extension workers and consultants. The manual is also useful as a reference for public works officials, municipal wastewater treatment plant operators, and students at colleges and universities. The text emphasizes irrigation for the purpose of optimizing crop production; therefore, it includes detailed instruction in the calculation of crop water requirements. Furthermore, the benefits and limitations of using reclaimed municipal wastewater for agricultural and landscape irrigation are discussed, as are other topics of special interest, including water management for salinity and sodicity control, and economic and legal aspects of reclaimed wastewater irrigation.
The long-awaited Pistachio Production Manual from the University of California is here! The combined knowledge of 42 UC and industry experts and years of research and field trials are brought to fruition in this long awaited, 321-page manual. From an overview of the state of the industry to physiological disorders, the 8-part manual covers everything you need to know. Chapters cover topics including orchard design; rootstocks and cultivars; planting and training young trees; weed, insect, mite, and vertebrate management; irrigation and salinity management; disease management; and physiological disorders including alternate bearing, nut blanking and shell splitting. Over 200 color photographs and 60 diagrams, charts, and tables illustrate key points. The back cover includes a photographic guide to the developmental stages of the pistachio.
