“…The average production of subsurface irrigation water for these 15 days was 6 kg/d with an average irrigation rate of 1.5 mm/d (Yousefi et al 2017). This was less than the result from the greenhouse study of Arabnejad et al (2021), 2.08 mm/d. Of course, considering that these two experiments have been studied with different dimensions, equipment and designs and in two completely different environments, one in the greenhouse and the other in the field environment and real conditions, this comparison may not be correct.…”

“…This way, air moisture condensed on the outer surface of the pipes and then the water entered the soil drop by drop. Recently, Arabnejad et al (2021), made a CI laboratory model (1Â2Â0.3 m) in a greenhouse for basil cultivation. He showed that the condensation irrigation system had the ability to supply the water demand of the basil and that the soil temperature increase due to condensation did not limit the plant growth.…”

Condensation irrigation (CI) combines desalination with subsurface irrigation. Here, solar stills are used to heat and humidity air, which is condensed in underground drainage pipes to irrigate the soil, directly in the root zone. This article describes and evaluates a CI field test at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz in Iran. The objective was to gain a deeper understanding of the CI system in the production of drinking and irrigation water and to do a detailed assessment of heat and moisture transfer in the soil. Perforated and unperforated PVC pipes were used in two separate experiments while airflow properties, soil temperature and humidity, and ambient air temperature were monitored. The system produced 6 kg of irrigation water during eight hours, in the 25 m long pipe. When using an unperforated pipe, 4 kg of freshwater was collected at the pipe ending after eight hours of operation. The preliminary economic analysis of irrigation system indicates a payback time of less than 6 years.

“…Plant such as tomatoes and spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) often thrive with warmer root temperatures as a result of increased metabolism that allows for more nutrient uptake and shoot growth (Wang et al, 2022). In a study using condensation irrigation in pots with soil, pots treated with the elevated temperatures secondary to condensation irrigation stimulated root growth in green basils, though specific cultivars were not reported (Arabnejad et al, 2021).…”

Hydroponic systems have become increasingly popular for growers in recent years for year-round local production. Whereas optimal air temperature for plant growth has been considered, optimal root zone temperatures have not been examined as thoroughly. The objective of this research was to determine the optimal water temperature for growing different types of basil hydroponically. Research was conducted at the greenhouses in Stillwater, OK. Seventeen cultivars were selected from six main types of basil and transplanted into Nutrient Film Technique hydroponic systems, and three water temperature treatments were applied: 23, 27.5, and 31 °C. Height, width, average leaf area, leaf number, chlorophyll concentration (chlorophyll readings obtained with the Minolta-502 SPAD meter), shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, and root dry weight were evaluated. In general, the 27.5 and 31 °C treatments were not greater than each other in terms of leaf number and root dry weight but were greater than the 23 °C treatment. The 31 °C treatment had the greatest height, whereas width, average leaf area, shoot fresh weight, and shoot dry weight were not different from the 27.5 °C treatment. The 23 °C treatment had the greatest chlorophyll concentration (SPAD) value. Cultivar differences were significant in average leaf area and SPAD, with ‘Spicy Bush’ having the smallest leaf area and purple basil having the greatest SPAD value. For all cultivars except purple basil and ‘Large Leaf Italian’, a 27.5 °C water temperature would be recommended for greater plant growth.
