“…The water requirement could be fulfilled by the implementation of the drip irrigation system that could maintain soil moisture needed by chili plants. The soil moisture in the drip irrigation system could be maintained since this method was only dispensing water onto the crop root zone and preventing high evaporation [21,22]. The chili that grown in the drip irrigation system using volume of 100% ETc and polyethylene mulch has higher fruit weight, fruit length, and number of red fruits than those manual flush irrigation i.e.…”

The effects of climate change such as continuing reduces of the water availability and quality contributed to the declining the agricultural production. The production of chili, one of the vegetable commodities that high economic value in Indonesia, are also affected by this limited water availability. The current research to develop technology on the drip irrigation utilization aims to increase chili production using efficient water technology. The experiment was carried out at the Margahayu Research Station, Lembang, West Java, Indonesia (± 1,250 m asl) from May to November 2021. The T test design with two treatments i.e. (A) manual irrigation and (B) drip irrigation and four replications were implemented in this experiment. The use of drip irrigation could save the water used and irrigation time by 40.12% and 80% respectively during the vegetative phase and 37.11% and 77.78% respectively during the generative phase compared to those in manual irrigation. Further, the drip irrigation method could increase crop yields by 8.39%, reduce chili production costs by 13.04% and increase farmer income by 9.25% compared to manual irrigation. The incidence of bacterial fruit rot disease could be reduced using the drip irrigation method.

“…With the objectives to study the effect of different irrigation-fertigation scheduling and their rates on vegetable crops especially tomato, several literature were studied out and accordingly their results were added in it with an aim to find out the best alternate of water and fertilizer management so that farmer could get more production from lest inputs. Advantages and disadvantages of drip irrigation are given below (Reddy et al, 2017): Advantages -Maximum use of available water, no water being available to weeds, maximum crop yield, high efficiency in the use of fertilizers, less weed growth and restricts population of potential hosts, low labour and relatively low operation cost, no soil erosion, ready adjustment to sophisticated automatic control, no runoff of fertilizers into ground water, less evaporation losses of water as compared to surface irrigation, improves seed germination, decreased to tillage operations. Disadvantages -Sensitivity to clogging, moisture distribution problem, salinity hazards, high cost compared to furrow, high skill is required for design, install and operation.…”

Abstarct:The primary objective of this review study was to determine the best irrigation and fertilizer scheduling practice in order to achieve maximum yield with maximum water and fertilizer use efficiency and highest nutrient uptake. It is found nutrient use efficiency could be as high as 90 per cent in fertigation as compared to 40 to 60 per cent in conventional methods. The amount of fertilizer lost through leaching can be as low as 10 per cent in fertigation whereas it is 50 per cent in the traditional system. It is observed that irrigation and fertigation scheduled at 75% ET and at 75% RDF, respectively could be a good alternate for saving water and nutrients with enhanced nutrient uptake, growth, yield and quality of crops. In this paper, the literature pertaining to the different aspects of fertigation and irrigation scheduling are reviewed.

Our study provides an integrated analysis of the variability of greenhouse gas (GHG) footprints of field-grown tomatoes for processing. The global farm-specific data set of 890 observations across 14 countries over a three-year period (2013–2015) was obtained from farms grown under Unilever’s sustainable agricultural code. It represents on average 3% of the annual global production of processing tomatoes: insights can be used to help inform corporate sourcing strategies and certification schemes. The median GHG footprint ranged from 18 in Chile to 61 kg CO2-equiv per tonne of tomatoes in India, lower than results reported in other studies. We found that footprints are more consistent within countries than between them. Using linear mixed effect models, we quantified the relative influence of environmental conditions and farm management factors. Key variables were area of production and the method of fertilizer application. GHG footprints decreased with increasing area of production to a threshold of 17.4 ha. Farms using single fertilizer application methods in general had a larger GHG footprint than those using a combination of methods. We conclude that farm management factors should be prioritized for future data collection, and more stringent guidance on acceptable practices is required if greater comparability of outcomes is needed either within a scheme, such as the Unilever’s sustainable agriculture code, or between schemes.
