Soil water storage variability in a three-dimensional analysis in the root zone of irrigated melon

Abstract

i) immediately before irrigation and (ii) 30 min after irrigation. The soil water storage variation in the melon root zone occurs with greater intensity throughout the time of vegetative growth and the highest values are always observed in the same distances and depths of the soil in all phases of growth. The region indicated as of greatest root activity of the melon crop under drip irrigation is delimited, in relation to the stem, by the radial distance of 0.36 m and depth of 0.3 m, for all development stages.

“…The reason for the lower WS values in the first category compared to the other categories may be attributed to the increased evaporation and evapotranspiration rates due to higher temperatures, resulting in a decrease in the volume of water stored in the soil. [9] . As for the second category, with a range of 18.05-28.61 m³, it recorded a spatial coverage percentage of 31.06% and an area of 110.10 km².…”
