“…Soni et al's (2015) experiment was conducted with a randomized block design including 11 treatments. e results have shown that the water-saving rates of drip irrigation at 100% and 75% PE are 40.08% and 55.06%, respectively [4]. Naderianfar et al experiments were carried out at the meteorological station of the Faculty of Agriculture, Ferdowsi University, Mashhad, using a line-source sprinkler irrigation system based on the single-sprinkler installation method [5].…”

The application of intelligent technology has realized the transformation of people’s production and lifestyle, and also promoted the development and transformation of the agricultural field. At present, the application of agricultural intelligence is getting stronger and stronger; using its intelligent advanced methods and technologies, this paper aimed to achieve the optimization of sprinkler irrigation machine parts in the intelligent network environment to promote the rapid development of agriculture, and proposed the use of the NSGA-II algorithm in intelligent computing to guide the integration of artificial intelligence and pointer sprinkler parts, which helps to analyze and solve the objective problem of machine failure and parts damage in agriculture. In the study of the sprinkler gear system, from the perspective of gear efficiency, since it is optimized according to the minimum efficiency point of the fourth gear of the gear reducer, compared with the gear efficiency of 49.05% before this point, the efficiency of this point after optimization is 59.45%, and the minimum efficiency point will be increased by 21.2%. And because the energy loss unrelated to the power loss load will be greatly reduced, these energy losses have a greater relationship with the structure of the gearbox. In terms of each gear, compared with the previous period, the efficiency of the first gear was increased by 8.5% to 15.9%; the efficiency of the second gear increased by 8.7% to 17.4%; the efficiency of the third gear increased by 9.4% to 18.7%; and the efficiency of the fourth gear increased by 10.1% to 21.2%. Therefore, it is currently necessary to optimize the components of the sprinkler irrigation machine.

“…Numerous studies have shown that DF can achieve the combined goals of reducing water usage, increasing N use efficiency, and obtaining high yields. DF can significantly increase crop yields by 10–22% compared with traditional irrigation and fertilization practices [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Lu et al [ 14 ] found that compared with FB, DF increased the wheat yield, water productivity, N fertilizer use efficiency, and net income by 43–56%, 44–54%, 47–111%, and 88–100% compared with FB, respectively.…”

Conventional water and nitrogen (N) management practice in north China, comprising flood irrigation and N fertilizer broadcast (FB), limits sustainable wheat production. Drip fertigation (DF) has been widely adopted in wheat production in recent years and has effectively improved yields. However, the responses of the yield and quality to the N topdressing rate (NTR) under DF are still unclear. This study determined the responses of the wheat yield and quality to NTR under DF, as well as assessing whether DF could synergistically increase the yield and quality. A field experiment was conducted in north China for two seasons (2021–2023) using a split-plot design with three replicates. The main plot used the management practice (FB and DF) and the sub-plot had N treatment (no N applied, and NTRs of 0, 40, 80, 120, and 160 kg ha−1 with 150 kg N ha−1 as basal fertilizer, denoted as N0, T0, T40, T80, T120, and T160, respectively). Our results showed that high and saturated wheat yields (12.08 and 11.46 t ha−1) were obtained under DF at T80, and the highest yields were produced at T160 (11.71 and 11.30 t ha−1) under FB. Compared with FB, the greatest yield increase of 10.4–12.6% was achieved at T80 under DF. A higher spike number due to the increased effective stem percentage and a greater grain weight because of enhanced post-anthesis biomass production (BPpost) explained the improved yield under DF. The enhanced post-anthesis radiation use efficiency (RUE) led to the greater BPpost under DF. The enhanced specific leaf N, antioxidant capacity, and stomatal conductance under DF explained the higher light-saturated photosynthesis rate of flag leaves, which partly led to the increased post-anthesis RUE. NTR higher than 80 kg ha−1 did not enhance the yield, but it significantly improved the gliadin and glutelin contents, thereby leading to a higher total protein content, better gluten characteristics, and superior processing quality. Therefore, drip fertigation is a practical strategy for increasing both yield and quality with reduced water input and appropriate N input in irrigated winter wheat in north China. Applying 80 kg ha−1 of NTR under drip irrigation produces a high yield, but further gain in grain quality needs a higher NTR.

Background Stone pine (Pinus pinea), a drought-resistant species, has significant socio-economic benefits and increasing interest for the establishment of productive plantations in several countries, especially in a climate change context. Monitoring hourly stem diameter variations contributes to the understanding of the tree-growth response to changes in environmental conditions and management. By monitoring the diameter expansion of tree stems, high-resolution band dendrometers were used to study the development of adult trees growing in a semi-arid coastal environment of central Chile under fertilized and non-fertilized soil conditions through the span of a year. Results Short cycles (< 21 h) were few in fertilized and non-fertilized trees (6 and 4, respectively), whereas long cycles (> 28 h) occurred at a higher frequency in fertilized trees (16 vs 6). Most of the circadian cycles were regular (24 ± 3 h). The longest cycle duration (59 h) was observed in fertilized trees during spring. In all seasons, each phase of the circadian cycle, especially during the stem diameter increment phase (P3, irreversible growth), started earlier in fertilized than in control trees. P3 duration was significantly longer in fertilized than in control trees in springtime. The maximum shrinkage (P1) was observed in summer for both treatments. Stem diameter increased faster in fertilized than in control trees throughout the year, with the highest accumulation occurring in spring and the lowest in autumn. The daily variability pattern showed lower growth under high temperature across seasons. Conclusions This study highlights the importance of fertilization in enhancing stone pine diameter growth. This cultural practice should be further explored to contribute to the mitigation of climate change effects in semi-arid environments.
