Water Use Features of Typical Crops and Technical Modes of Modern Agriculture Irrigation in China

Rice is the major staple food for billions of people worldwide. It has the social and economic impacts on people lives. Water scarcity is one of the major challenges to rice production and ultimately food security globally. For food security, it is important to explore efficient rice production technology that uses less water. Therefore, in the modern agriculture focus has been shifted towards development of water saving technologies. These methods include direct seeding, alternate wetting and drying, aerobic rice systems, use of mulches etc. These techniques reduce the water requirements and can enhance water use efficiency (W.U.E) of rice. However, yield may be compromised with these techniques, but research has been carried out to reduce yield losses and water use. Biotechnology and breeding approaches are being used to develop rice verities with drought tolerance, improved water use efficiency etc. Development and adoption of these technologies will shift the rice production from anaerobic to completely or partially aerobic systems. These techniques may reduce the water losses. In Pakistan famers are willing to adopt new technologies; however there is a need of dissemination and demonstration to adopt these technologies at farmer level to enhance crop productivity and water use efficiency. Innovative research approaches are required to fill the gaps in technological innovations and adoption

India is in particular an agricultural country. Agriculture is the maximum vital career for the maximum of the Indian families. It performs essential position withinside the improvement of agricultural country. In India, agriculture contributes approximately 16% of general GDP and 10% of general exports. Water is most important aid for Agriculture. Irrigation is one approach to deliver water but, in a few cases, there could be lot of water wastage. So, on this regard to shop water and time we've got proposed venture titled automated irrigation device the use of IoT the clever irrigation device is evolved to optimize water use and effective agricultural crops. The primary thing required to get desired results are Temperature, Humidity, Light depth and Water. Keeping those parameters in thoughts we have constructed a Smart irrigation device Over IOT the usage of Arduino. This device may be very green for developing edible vegetation with quality. The different vital a part of this venture is that it is completely automatic These days IOT is broadly used in lots of applications. This machine has a dispensed wi-fi community of soil-moisture and temperature sensors placed withinside the root quarter of the plants. In addition, a gateway unit handles sensor information, triggers and transmits sensors records the usage of IOT to a web utility and Android utility. A set of rules became advanced with threshold values of temperature and soil moisture that became programmed into a Arduino primarily based totally gateway to control water quantity.

The present study entitled “Effect of relative water content and water use efficiency of Lactuca sativa under different methods of growing”was conducted to demonstrate water saving techniques and their role in plant growth and sustainable development that given a new dimension to modern agriculture. For experiment, two varities of lettuce was used i.e., Romaine and Grand rapid. The experiment was carried out in hydroponics having growing media and also in pots with equal amount of Farm Yard Manure at the experimental house of the Division of Plant Physiology, SKUAST-J. Growing media was therefore, applied in different ratio i.e., coco peat (100 %), Coco peat + Vermicompost (1:1), coco peat + perlite (1:1), coco peat + vermiculite (1:1), coco peat + perlite + vermiculite (1:1:1), coco peat + perlite + vermiculite + vermicompost (1:1:1:1) as well as with conventional method (soil + Manure). The performance of both varieties under hydroponic treatments was compared with the plants grown by conventional method. The experimental results revealed that among both the varities, treatment T5 performed better as compared to other treatments and should be recommended to other hydroponic growers and farmers in future.
