O Brasil mantém a segunda maior produção de abacaxi do mundo, movimentando bilhões e empregando milhares de pessoas anualmente. Contudo, a abacaxicultura no Nordeste ainda é insipiente, destacando-se principalmente nos estados da Paraíba e Bahia. As características morfológicas da planta apresentam resistência ao clima semiárido, podendo ser produzida nessas áreas sem grandes restrições. Dessa forma, este estudo tem como objetivo mapear a potencialidade, do ponto de vista geoclimático, à produção do abacaxi na microrregião de Araripina, a partir de aspectos físico-naturais e de uso de solo, procurando adequar a cultura do abacaxi à baixa oferta hídrica da região semiárida, de modo a otimizar o uso da água na região. Para tanto uma carta de potencialidade geoclimática foi gerada por meio do cruzamento de informações das cartas de geomorfologia, pedologia, índices pluviométricos anuais e uso e ocupação do solo, também sendo estimada a evapotranspiração da cultura do abacaxi e a necessidade hídrica da cultura na região. Os resultados indicaram que a microrregião de Araripina possui a predominância do grau de potencialidade à abacaxicultura das classes de “muito alta” a “alta”. Sendo a área cultivada na microrregião de aproximadamente 20ha de abacaxi, há uma demanda anual de 343.373m³ num sistema de irrigação por aspersão e de 286.512m³ de água num sistema de microaspersão para suprir as deficiências hídricas dessa cultura. Portanto, a irrigação e o manejo adequado do solo são atributos necessários para o desenvolvimento viável e competitivo da cultura no semiárido.  ABSTRACTBrazil maintains a second world's largest pineapple production, moving billion and employing thousands of people annually.

Audit Program

Seven and one-half square miles, or 4864 acres, of the Grand Valley in Western Colorado consists of high water-using landscapes. Overirrigation of Grand Valley soils flushes 580,000 tons of salt into the Colorado River each year. These salts negatively impact plant and animal health throughout the Colorado River basin. Proper watering of lawns can significantly reduce this problem. Correcting problems with a sprinkler irrigation system can reduce water use by an average of 40%. If water use on all 4864 acres was reduced by 40%, a savings of 11,187 acre feet, or over 3.6 billion gallons, of water would result. The annual historical evapotranspiration (ET) rate for the Grand Valley of Western is ≈61 inches; the ET rate during the irrigation season (April through October) is ≈49 inches. Since a typical sprinkler system is ≈70% efficient, in order to apply 49 inches of water to the soil, ≈70 inches of water is required. Irrigation system problems such as improperly spaced heads, sunken heads and heads not adjusted are typically responsible for 40% more water being applied than necessary. In Western Colorado, this equates to an over-application of 28 inches (2.3 acre feet) of water being applied each year. The 2005 Western Colorado irrigation audit problem covering 18.7 acres of turf. Assuming the problems noted were all corrected, a water savings of 43 acre feet, or 14,013,797 gallons, of water resulted. The 2006 audit program will continue this educational and water-saving effort. A grant from the Department of the Interior-Bureau of Reclamation will help fund the 2006 Irrigation Audit project.

Irrigation water shortages have lately been a main area of concern for policymakers and planners in Pakistan. Current literature on the country’s water resources predicts an alarming situation regarding the availability of irrigation water in the future due to declining water tables and serious financial, environmental, and social constraints of developing big storage reservoirs. Since there is little room to augment water supplies by building new dams, the existing supply-driven surface irrigation system needs to be replaced by a demand-based system with special focus on water use efficiency through the introduction of an appropriate water pricing system. The present study aims to evaluate several alternative water pricing systems in the search for choosing one that will ensure efficient use of irrigation water in Pakistan. A related objective is to test the extent of sensitivity of the demand for irrigation water to a change in alternative water prices. A major conclusion that emerges from this research is that irrigation water shortages are the result of the inflexibility of the present irrigation water supply system for agricultural use and have little to do with the existing water pricing practice in the country. Furthermore, the results of our water price simulations exercise confirm the general perception that demand for irrigation water is less sensitive to changes in alternative irrigation water prices. Two findings from the pricing policy perspective are: (i) irrigation water is not available in adequate quantity to farmers in the nine sub-districts surveyed at almost all of the alternative prices in Pakistan’s irrigated agriculture sector since the predicted water usage at all prices is greater than the actual usage for all districts; and (ii) our empirical analysis indicates significant inefficiency of resource allocation in respect of irrigation water as shown by its positively large marginal value product to opportunity cost ratio.

Banana is one of the most produced fruit crops in Brazil and has great economic, social and nutritional importance. Factors such as water availability and well-managed fertilization are fundamental to achieving profitable yields. The aim of this study was to examine the agronomic performance and water use efficiency of ‘BRS Princesa’ banana under combinations of irrigation systems, fertilization methods and mulching, during three production cycles. The experiment was laid out in a randomized-block design with four replicates. Treatments consisted of a combination of the localized irrigation system, fertilization strategy and mulching, as follows: Drip irrigation with manual fertilization; Micro-sprinkler irrigation with manual fertilization; Drip fertigation with mulch; Drip fertigation without mulch; Micro-sprinkler fertigation with mulch; and Micro-sprinkler fertigation without mulch. The plants were irrigated every three days, using three 4-L h-1 drippers per plant or a 64-L h-1 micro-sprinkler for every four plants. The following variables were analyzed: number of leaves, plant height, pseudostem circumference, number of hands, hand yield, water and nutrient (nitrogen and potassium) use efficiency and earliness. The micro-sprinkler system provided a greater pseudostem circumference without the presence of mulch. Plants under micro-sprinkler fertigation with mulching grew taller. The banana yield was higher when fertigation was used than with manual fertilization, regardless of the irrigation system. Plants grown in mulched soil were more productive than those grown in bare soil. The use of mulch increased water, nitrogen and potassium use efficiency when compared with cultivation in bare soil. Drip-irrigated plants showed earlier production than those irrigated with micro-sprinklers.

The growth and yield of sunflower plants can be influenced by the plant population arrangement and the type of irrigation system adopted to meet the water requirements of the crop. This study examines the influence of different irrigation systems and spacings between planting rows on the development of sunflower cultivars for the sub-middle region of São Francisco Valley. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with a split-plot arrangement in which the plots consisted of three irrigation systems (drip, micro-sprinkler and sprinkler); sub-plots were represented by three spacings between planting rows (0.65, 0.55 and 0.45 m); and sub-sub-plots corresponded to two sunflower cultivars (Hélio 251 and Hélio 360). The following variables were analyzed: plant height; number of leaves; stem diameter; number of heads; head diameter; dry biomass of stems, leaves and heads; and achene yield. The different irrigation systems and row spacings markedly influenced the growth of the sunflower cultivars. The highest yield of cultivar Hélio 251 was obtained with the drip irrigation system and 0.55 m spacing. Cultivar Hélio 360 achieved the highest yields when irrigated by the micro-sprinkler system at 0.55 and 0.45 m spacing. In the sprinkler irrigation system, cultivar Hélio 360 obtained the highest yield at 0.45 m spacing.
