However, as observational techniques that used to be restricted to research applications are entering operational mode, it is becoming possible to routinely measure evaporation and soil moisture ...

Nuclear and isotopic techniques provide data on water use including losses through soil evaporation and help optimize irrigation scheduling and improve water use efficiency. The FAO forecasts that by ...

Growers often dismiss the unpredictability of precipitation as pure luck — but they can stack the odds in their favour with ...

Saline soil is often found in coastal areas or regions with high levels of evaporation. To improve saline soil, you can leach the soil with fresh water to flush out the salt or use plants that are ...
