Something often missing in irrigation should grab the world’s attention. To find out what it is, head to the closing summary of the Water Alternatives dissensus/blog/forum on the challenges of ‘adding blue water to green water’. Here you will find the excellent contributions from the last 4-5 weeks and the summary that reflects on the whole blog.  We acknowledge that the blog raises more questions than it answers. On that point, the summary argues that action-research is much need in irrigation. To quote: “The fact that no globally significant donor is funding systematic multi-scale, long-term action-research of a sector that consumes most of the world’s freshwater and produces key global food crops is an ongoing mystery.”  The blog and summary can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eHEW5_eX Sincere thanks to all of those who contributed both at the beginning and then during the forum.

Lower Rio Grande Valley irrigation water deficit perisists Report reveals the potential economic impact of irrigation loss on row and specialty crops, along with the broader economic loss in the Lower Rio Grande Valley as fewer acre-feet of water are available. https://lnkd.in/dNEQcd7g #irrigation #waterconservation #farming

Good irrigation management requires the answer to two questions: when to turn the water on and when to turn it off. With the right knowledge and the right tools, irrigation can be managed to control vine growth, maximize fruit set, and regulate fruit quality. In this guide, Dr. Gaylon S. Campbell shares how to use PAR for more efficient irrigation. Read the full guide: https://lnkd.in/gzmp-6NU #irrigation #sensor #agriculture #canopy

Irrigation plays an integral role in our crop growth, health, and productivity. Yet, we often give little attention to it. We give utmost priority to pests and weed control, fertilizers application, crop monitoring, soil analysis, etc. Good, but those amendments without irrigation are like fueling a car without starting the engine; It won't move. The same is applicable here. #IrrigationSystems #geopard #precisionagriculture #cropmonitoring

The Fish Before Irrigation (FBI) approach integrates aquaculture with irrigation systems to maximize water usage efficiency and agricultural productivity, as demonstrated in projects across Senegal, Kenya, and Cambodia. Through FBI, water used for aquaculture is then repurposed for irrigation, resulting in improved plant yields, increased protein supply, and potential cost savings on fertilization. While similar to aquaponics in its integration of fish and plant production, FBI places a primary focus on optimizing crop yield while incorporating fish production as a supplementary component, differing from traditional aquaponics models which prioritize the symbiotic relationship between fish and plants.
