Integrated farming system and sustainable agricultureShaheenPraveen1
Integrated Farming System (IFS) is a sustainable agricultural approach that improves productivity and reduces costs through effective recycling and reuse of resources. In IFS, different farm enterprises like crops, livestock, and fisheries interact synergistically by using the waste of one component as input for another. This reduces costs and improves production and income while maintaining ecological sustainability. The objectives of IFS include improving farmer livelihoods, reducing external inputs, providing year-round employment and income, enhancing biodiversity, and sustaining soil health and productivity through efficient recycling of farm waste and minimizing nutrient losses. IFS presents an alternative to conventional farming that is better for both the environment and long-term economic viability of small-scale farmers.

Some studies found females use strategies more frequently than males, but gender effects are inconsistent. Higher proficiency learners tend to use strategies more often. Learning style preferences, such as visual vs. auditory, also influence strategy selection.
Drip irrigation is a method of applying water directly to soil near plant roots through a network of valves, pipes, tubing and emitters. It allows for precise watering according to a crop's needs, reducing water waste through runoff or deep percolation. The system's components include mainlines, sub-mains, lateral lines, emitters, filters, pressure regulators, valves, and flush valves. Drip irrigation provides benefits like increased yields and quality due to efficient water and fertilizer application, but also has drawbacks such as high installation costs and potential clogging issues that require maintenance.
The document discusses drip irrigation, an innovative irrigation method developed by Rakesh Gandhi. It saves water and fertilizer by slowly dripping water to plant roots through a network of pipes and emitters. Key benefits include increased yields and quality while reducing costs, water usage, and environmental impact compared to traditional flood irrigation. The method is well-suited for India's agriculture needs and climate conditions.
Micro-irrigation refers to low-pressure irrigation systems that spray, mist, sprinkle or drip water onto the soil surface near the plant roots. The document discusses the need for micro-irrigation systems to reduce soil salinity and evaporation while providing sufficient water for plant growth. It describes the advantages of micro-irrigation like water savings, weed and disease reduction, and yield improvement. The document also outlines some disadvantages and different types of micro-irrigation systems including drip, sprinkler and fogging systems. It provides details on drip irrigation components and crops that can be grown with drip irrigation.
1. The document describes 5 different irrigation systems: flood, basin, furrow, ring, and border strip/modified furrow systems.
2. The flood system involves flooding the entire flat land area with water. The basin system uses small patches around trees with sloped edges to prevent water contacting tree trunks.
3. The furrow system divides orchards into furrows to apply water, with size varying by soil/slope. The ring system applies water in rings around trees to prevent nut splitting.
4. The border strip/modified furrow system uses a main channel to simultaneously irrigate multiple furrows, allowing deep penetration and slow horizontal movement of water with minimal erosion.
Drip irrigation is a method that saves water and fertilizer by slowly dripping water directly to plant roots through a network of pipes and emitters. Bamboo is a fast-growing plant that is easily available and low-cost, and its hollow stems can be used to convey water as pipes for drip irrigation systems. Bamboo stems require modifications like adding connectors between pieces and creating emitters by cementing wire through holes to develop localized drip irrigation using mainly bamboo materials. The bamboo drip irrigation system has advantages like maximizing water and fertilizer use while controlling weeds and erosion, but also has limitations such as emitter clogging and vulnerability of bamboo to wet conditions.
The document describes a microcontroller-based automated drip irrigation system. It contains sensors to monitor soil moisture and temperature, which send signals to a microcontroller. The microcontroller controls valves to supply water through drip lines as needed based on the sensor readings, maintaining optimal soil conditions. This system saves water compared to manual irrigation and allows for more precise control and record keeping than traditional methods.
Presented by University of Minnesota retired Extension Engineer, Jerry Wright at the 2009 Minnesota Statewide High Tunnel Conference in Alexandria, MN on Dec. 2-3, 2009.
Drip irrigation has several advantages over other irrigation methods:
1. It irrigates the plant and not the soil directly, delivering water through a pipe with small drippers to each plant.
2. It allows for each plant to receive the same amount of water uniformly.
3. It results in a denser, more efficient root system and higher irrigation efficiency of 95% compared to 60-80% for sprinklers.
This document provides an overview of drip irrigation. It discusses the history of drip irrigation, which dates back to ancient Persia and includes early uses of clay pots and bamboo. Modern drip irrigation began in Israel in the 1950s and 1960s with early patents and experiments. It describes the basic principles and components of drip irrigation systems, including drippers, pipes, filters, and valves. The document covers topics such as water distribution in soil, filtration, fertigation, system design, and scheduling. Drip irrigation is presented as a comprehensive agro-technology that improves water and nutrient use efficiency compared to other irrigation methods. It has gained widespread use around the world for both field and greenhouse crops.
Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that applies water directly to plant roots. The key components of a drip irrigation system include a water source, pumping system, distribution pipes, drip tape with emitters, injectors, and a filtration system. Drip irrigation conserves water by reducing evaporation and runoff, allows for targeted fertilizer application, and improves crop yields. It has been widely adopted for agriculture in water-scarce regions like India and Israel.
This document summarizes four main irrigation methods: surface irrigation (flooding), sprinkler irrigation (applying water under pressure), drip or trickle irrigation (applying water slowly to the soil), and sub-surface irrigation (flooding water underground). Surface irrigation is the most widely used method, covering 90% of irrigated land. Sprinkler irrigation is ideal for scarce water areas. Drip irrigation conserves water, controls weeds, and applies water at a slow rate matching crop needs. Sub-surface irrigation is used where soil and topography allow watering underground.
This document describes a microcontroller-based automatic irrigation system. It consists of a soil moisture sensor to detect moisture levels, a comparator circuit to analyze the sensor readings, an ATmega328 microcontroller to control the system, and a solenoid valve and relay circuit to regulate water flow. The system automatically monitors soil moisture and operates the valve to optimize irrigation based on moisture thresholds, reducing water use and labor compared to manual systems.
Irrigation is the artificial application of water to land or soil to assist in crop growth. Historically, irrigation was labor intensive and dependent on weather, but modern irrigation is more machine intensive, market-focused, and allows farmers to control water supply independent of rains. There are several irrigation methods, including surface irrigation where land is fully flooded, sprinkler irrigation where water is distributed through sprinklers, and drip irrigation where water is supplied drop-by-drop directly to plant roots, making it the most efficient method. While modern irrigation techniques are more costly to install initially, they are also more efficient and effective at delivering the right amount of water to increase crop yields.
