“…The irrigation provides consistent moisture regime in soil which increases availability and translocation of nutrients and increases vegetative growth of plants, and due to non-availability of adequate moisture at the root zone of mango trees. The similar conformity of finding was reported by Lawand and Patil [15], Kumar et al [19].…”

Artificial application of water to the effective root zone of crops on the appropriate time gives significant results on plant growth and fruit yield in mango. In order to understand the effects of soil moisture content in mango, trial was conducted under the experimental area of BAU, Sabour, Bhagalpur during 2020-21 using five treatments i.e. T1-[Control], T2-[Water requirement at 25% of EP], T3-[Water requirement at 50% of EP], T4-[Water requirement at 75% of EP], T5-[Water requirement at 100% of EP] in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. Treatment T4-[Water requirement at 75% of EP]significantly performed better in respect of increase in plant height of 0.24 m, number of 695.00 fruits per plant and yield of 193.23 kg per plant ( 19.32 t/ha). The maximum increase in plant spread such as East-West and North-South direction were 0.25m and 0.23m, respectively, and the maximum canopy volume of 1195.99 m3 was recorded in treatment T5-[Water requirement at 100% of EP].Treatment T3-[Water requirement at 50% of EP] significantly performed better in fruit size (fruit length and fruit breadth of 10.00 cm and 8.20 cm, respectively) and also showed maximum fruit volume of 239.75 (cc). On the basis of findings, it may be concluded that frequent and appropriate application of water at the effective root zone of plant plays an important role in growth and yield of mango.

“…CA involves three key principles: minimal soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and diversified crop rotations. By reducing tillage, CA minimizes soil erosion and improves water infiltration, preserving soil structure and moisture and the use of crop residues as cover helps retain soil moisture, reducing evaporation and enhancing water availability for crops [62][63][64][65][66]. Additionally, diversified crop rotations, including legumes, contribute to improved soil health and water-use efficiency [15].…”

India, supporting 17% of the global population, from limited land (2.4% of the world's total) and freshwater resources (4%), faces severe water scarcity issues. The country experiences heightened challenges due to a monsoon climate leading to floods and droughts. Irrigation efficiency in India is 35-40% and irrigated area ~48.9%. To meet the demands of a large or growing population in limited land and water resources, climate-smart irrigation practices (CSIPs) are imperative. These practices not only increase yield but also precisely supply water, reduce water application volume, and enhance soil health under changing climate conditions. Precision water management technologies includes; advanced agro-techniques, micro-irrigation, conservation agriculture, crop diversification, integrated farming systems, and water harvesting. Micro-irrigation, encompassing drip and sprinkler systems, emerges as a critical solution for efficient water use. Techniques like Surface Drip Irrigation and Sub-surface Drip Irrigation (SSDI) not only save water but also enhance nutrient transport and reduce labor costs. The automation of micro-irrigation through sensors and wireless communication revolutionizes traditional practices, ensuring precise water management and boosting agricultural productivity. In addition, advanced agro-techniques, including laser land leveling, furrow-irrigated raised beds, aerobic rice cultivation, system of rice intensification, ground cover cum rice production system and Saguna rice technique have good potential to save water and improve water productivity. Implementing these advanced agro-techniques not only conserves water but also contributes to sustainable agriculture by improving overall water productivity, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing crop productivity. The integration of conservation agriculture (minimum soil disturbance, crop residue cover and crop diversification), integrated farming systems (combine diverse agricultural activities synergistically), and water harvesting is imperative for sustainable water management. This review paper systematically compiles climate-smart irrigation practices, including precision water management, combined with conservation agriculture, crop diversification, integrated farming systems, and water harvesting. This review paper offers researchers a comprehensive understanding of different CSIPs, assessing their impact on water conservation, increased crop and water productivity, and sustainability amid climate change. Farmers can gain practical understandings of CSIPs, while policymakers obtain essential information for addressing national water mission goals.

All horticultural regions of the world have fundamentally developed in the programmatic era through farmer impact and imaginative development practices. The methods described are used to monitor satisfaction and crop yields. Because of the quality of the soil and the nourishment of the land, their cultivation has improved and created more money. The disadvantage is that it took them a long speculation to acquire the crops, and the level of nutrition was not usually put at its obvious level. In addition, many areas were devoted to production, which required a lot of work to treat the whole area. In order to control the time and methods well, the majority of the regions switched to careful development principles with IoT structures. Growing on water is the most progressive strategy to grow natural plants, vegetables and fruits without using land. The use of Rockwool in agricultural strategies where water contamination is possible for a certain period will result in huge yields and the requirement of longer growing times will be waived. Most of the countries that have practiced smart and economic development with little external intervention. IoT sensors are used in the water cultivation development system to test the situation and quality of yields continuously. They will effectively provide information to the whole system when the water or nutrient level has dropped. In the beginning, the development of hydroponics was done horizontally in small spaces in order to maintain the water flow. Today, it is applied on a vertical structure to save space and water flows when needed. With this method, yields are likely to be achieved even more spaceefficiently and with little external intervention. Vertical hydroponics performs better than previous conventional approaches; perhaps the farmers in the extension unit have considered the cost of the total layout. This evaluation paper describes the use of procedures and development of automated methods using IoT platforms. Many reference materials can be used big data.
