À propos de la quatrième de couverture

This collection features five peer-reviewed reviews on irrigation management in horticultural production.

The first chapter considers recent advances in irrigation techniques used in sustainable vegetable cultivation and reviews the performance and efficiency of these systems.

The second chapter details the need to optimise precision in orchard irrigation management, focussing on matching water supply to plant demand, reducing evaporation from the soil surface and responding to drought as a means of achieving this.

The third chapter assesses irrigation management systems for tomato production and how these can be optimised alongside nutrient management to ensure the production of safe and nutritious tomatoes.

The fourth chapter summarises the common types of irrigation systems found in soilless culture production, as well as the emergence of new systems, including plant-based sensing and monitoring systems.

The final chapter highlights the need for more sustainable water use in ornamental production systems. The chapter considers how irrigation systems can be better managed to increase system efficiency, as well as to reduce runoff volume and limit contaminant load.
