Global climate change and increasing climatic variability are recently considered a huge concern worldwide due to enormous emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and its more apparent effect on fruit crops because of its perennial nature. The changed climatic parameters affect the crop physiology, biochemistry, floral biology, biotic stresses like disease-pest incidence, etc., and ultimately resulted to the reduction of yield and quality of fruit crops. So, it is big challenge to the scientists of the world.

Apple jam has real flavor of apples. It is more or less like a pulped apple with bright color and flavor. These are healthy and safe to consume for kids as well, they just enjoy the real taste of apples in this form.

The loss of water from aerial parts of plants in the form of vapor is known as transpiration.
The loose arrangement of the living thin walled mesophyll cells, which results in an abundance of inter cellular space provides an ideal condition for the vaporation of water from internal leaf surface.
Part of the epidermal surface of the leaf is made up of a great number of microscopic pores called stomata.

Maximizing Water Productivity of Maize using Alternate Furrow Irrigation at C...Premier Publishers
Nowadays, water availability is a major limiting factor for development of agriculture in arid and semiarid areas. Under conditions of scarce water supply and drought, irrigation practices demand the maximum use of every drop of water to maximize water productivity for irrigated crops. A field experiment with a split-plot design was carried out to evaluate the combined effect of three furrow irrigation techniques and three irrigation levels treatments on maize grain yield and water productivity at Mekhoni Agricultural Research center (MeARC), Raya valley district. Irrigation was applied through furrows in three ways as the main plots: conventional furrow irrigation (CFI), alternate furrow irrigation (AFI), and fixed furrow irrigation (FFI). In CFI, irrigation was applied to every furrow at each irrigation event; in AFI irrigation was applied to alternate furrows which were dry in the preceding irrigation cycle, while in FFI, irrigation was applied to fixed furrows throughout the growing season. Each irrigation technique was further divided into three sub-irrigation treatments: two deficit irrigation levels 75% and 50% ETc and a control of 100% ETc as sub-plot were investigated. Results showed that maximum water productivity was obtained under the AFI system without a trade-off in grain yield and considerably save water. Hence, it is recommended as efficient irrigation technique in areas with limited water resources.
Comparing the performance of a home-made bottle drip to a commercial drip sys...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
A study was conducted in which lettuce (Lactucasativa L.) was grown in a plot at the Faculty of Agriculture at Luyengo Campus of the University of Eswatini to compare three different irrigation methods on the production of marketable heads of lettuce. The performance of lettuce under a commercial drip tape was compared with a home-made bottle drip and a hand watering can as used typically by rural people in the country. The commercial drip had emitters discharging 2 liters per hour and therefore 2 liters per hour was applied with both the home-made bottle drip and the watering can during irrigation. The irrigation frequency was every after two days for all the treatments. The plot sizes were 1.5 m x 4.0 m and there were four replications per treatment. There were eighteen lettuce plants per plot. The lettuce was grown for a period of four weeks and then harvested whole. Yield parameters measured included the plant height (cm), leaf area index (LAI), root length (cm) and the fresh head mass (grams). Significant differences (P < 0.01) between treatments were obtained for fresh lettuce head mass and root length. The commercial drip treatment had largest fresh mass at 226.8 g. It was followed by bottle drip at 184.8 g. The control had the lowest yield at 165.3 g. There were no significant differences between treatments for plant height and leaf area index. It was concluded that the home-made bottle drip irrigation method could be recommended for rural people who cannot afford to buy the commercial drip system for the production of vegetables for household consumption.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

2. • In the average season (May-September), rainfall is 125-150 mm
less than pan evaporation.
• In 3 years out of 5, significant water shortages occur in June, July
and August.
• In the worst situations, the shortfall can be 35-50mm per week.

10. Water Stress with Young Trees
Limited root system due to digging in nursery.
Transplant shock
Rapid Leaf area development with branched
trees
Highly feathered trees experience water stress
in late May and June due to limited root
systems and extensive leaf area
Water must be applied frequently to limit water
stress on newly planted trees. Trickle
irrigation must be installed within 2 weeks of
planting
Newly planted trees have limited nutrient
uptake due to damaged root systems.

– 4 liter water/tree/day/year of tree age.
• Soil suction tensiometers
– Apply irrigation when tensiometers read -20 centibars.
• Pan Evaporation
– Open surface evaporation adjusted with a crop coefficient (Kc).
• Evapotranspiration models

orchards with a crop coefficient (Kc)

27. Precision Irrigation
1. Even if growers properly control fruit crop
load through precision thinning, drought
can cause a reduction in fruit size and
reduce crop value.
2. Irrigation quantity and frequency in NY is
done by “experience”.
3. Irrigation quantity and frequency can be
done more precisely using the Cornell
irrigation model for apple orchards.
28. Practical Application of Precision Irrigation
1. Twice weekly calculate ET for
orchard using the Cornell ET
model
2. Apply proper amount of
irrigation on a twice weekly
basis from Mid-May until Mid-
June.
3. Apply proper amount of
irrigation on a three times per
week basis from Mid-June to
end of August.
31. What you can take to the farmers?
• Newly planted apple trees can undergo water stress soon after
growth starts limiting first year growth.
• Trickle irrigation has its largest impact in the first few years and so
should be installed early in the first year.
• In dry years, the application of water should begin in mid-May. In
other years, the application of water can be delayed until early
June.
• Using the ET model to precisely apply the proper amount of water
will help ensure that proper fruit size is achieved each year.
