The document discusses irrigation for lettuce and green leaf crops. It notes that lettuce has a shallow root system and requires strict moisture management. Insufficient irrigation can negatively impact yields and quality, while too much irrigation can also reduce quality. The NaanDan Jain IrriStand system is highlighted as optimizing irrigation by simulating light rain with low flow sprinklers and uniform distribution to meet crop needs. It maintains soil aeration while providing water and nutrients specifically tailored to the shallow root system of lettuce.

Introduction
• Water is essential for all life of forms on earth-including human, animal and vegetation.
• It is therefore important that adequate supplies of water be developed to sustain such life
• Where there is no surface water, where groundwater is deep or inaccessible due to hard ground conditions, or where it is too salty, acidic or otherwise unpleasant or unfit to drink, another source must be sought.
• In areas that have regular rainfall, the most appropriate alternative is the collection of rainwater, called rainwater harvesting .

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

About Lettuce and Green-leave Crops
• Lettuce is one of the most common crops, grown in many
areas and in a variety of species, shapes and sizes.
• Lettuce, like other green-leave crops, is characterized by
a shallow root system that requires strict irrigation regime
and control.
• Moisture management throughout the growing season is
a critical factor for the production of commercial quality
lettuce and green leaves. Even relatively short periods of
inadequate soil moisture can adversely affect the crop.
• Lettuce yields can reach up to 50-70 ton/hectare, depending
on the type of species, number of growth cycles and soil
conditions.
• Duration of growth on soil: in the autumn - 60-90 days,
in the summer - 21-30 days.
Climate control
• The lettuce plant is most suitable to climate conditions
with a moderate temperature of 13-16 C˚.
• During germination, it requires temperature of 7-24 C˚.
• Short days are ideal for growing lettuce. A day that lasts
over 12 hours causes the lettuce to bloom.
Soil
• Neutral light soil (PH-7) or acidic soil characteristics are
preferable, but commercial yields can be achieved also in
heavy soil conditions.
• The lettuce is sensitive to cold and salinity. Water with an
EC of 1.3 or less should be used for irrigation.

Irrigation of Lettuce and Green Leaves
Irrigation aims to avoid water stress especially during
the formation of the harvest plant part.
Crop water stress can occur when the soil moisture is
excessive, or when it’s deficient. When O2 concentration
levels in the soil atmosphere are lowered due to
displacement by water for an extended period of time,
severe damage to the root system can occur.
Lettuce and green-leave plants are especially susceptible
to water stress due to their shallow root systems.
Water stress can lead to two main symptoms:
• Poor yields and poor product quality (in terms of firmness,
head size, color) due to damage caused to the head lettuce.
• Rot at the base of the roots.
Moisture deficiencies occurring early in the crop cycle may
delay maturity season and reduce yields.
Shortages later in the season often lower quality as well
as yields. However, irrigation surplus, especially late in the
season, can reduce quality and post harvest life of the crop.
Uneven or surplus irrigation, above the amount required
to replace evapotranspiration, cause N leaching below the
root system and crop recoveries of N decreased.
Efficient water use, meaning: irrigation scheduling,
high water distribution uniformity and light precipitation
rate that will help avoiding stress conditions.
Irrigation scheduling
• An irrigation threshold of 20-30% soil water deficit should
be targeted to avoid water stress. If using tensiometers,
10 to 25 centibars should be used to trigger irrigation
according to soil type.
• Otherwise, irrigate every 1-3 days.
• During hot weather it is preferable to pulse irrigate in order
to preserve high humidity
Water requirement calculation:
Water requirement = daily ET (Evapotranspiration) x crop factor.
Range of crop factor is 0.25-0.9
The crop factor is related to canopy coverage:
Canopy coverage = Ca x Cb
Ca= coverage between plants (%)
Cb= coverage between rows (%)

NaanDan Jain Irrigation Systems
High investment costs are associated with producing green-
leave crops. The selection of the most suitable irrigation
system and its management is crucial for success. NaanDan
Jain offers two main systems for optimal irrigation: IrriStand
and Amirit.
IrriStand system
The IrriStand system for lettuce and green leaves is a low-
flow sprinkler that simulates light rain. Based on a flexible
in-and-out solid-set PE system, the system successfully
meets all crop development stages and requirements:
• Germination
• Uniform irrigation
(while maintaining soil aeration conditions)
• Continuous application of nitrogen
• Micro-climate
• Soil erosion prevention
• Frost protection
Main system advantages
• Low precipitation rate
• High efficiency and uniform water
distribution
• Full control over wetted profile
• Availability of optimal moisture and nutrients
IrriStand laying operation
for the root system
• Increase of lettuce production up to
70 ton/ha, according to the different varieties
and season
High distribution uniformity and low application rate,
at frequent irrigation cycles, provide maximum control
and monitoring of the wetted and aerated soil profile,
which is essential for the lettuce shallow root system.
• Low application rate (3-5 mm/h): allows optimal
absorption of water into the soil, no run-off even on slopes.
• Low droplet impact: preserves soil structure and prevents
crust formation to allow perfect germination and
development.
• Short irrigation cycles: prevents stress caused by water
surplus; provides optimal growing conditions with highly
accessible moisture and nutrients in a controlled wetted
and aerated soil profile; no nitrate leaches below the root
zone and leakage into the groundwater.
Amirit system
Based on the IrriStand concept, Amirit is a solid-set system
including 50 mm PE pipes with 10-12 meter segments. The
system is flexible, portable and easy to operate.

Sprinklers for IrriStand and Amirit
Systems
NaanDan Jain developed a wide range of sprinklers
for the irrigation of lettuce and green leaves.
Characterized by their sturdy construction, corrosion
resistance and extremely high water distribution,
they respond to the specific field conditions.
Super 10 Amirit system installation
• Compact ball-driven sealed mechanism
for spacing up to 12m
• Available with flow regulator
5022-U
• Impact sprinkler for spacing up to 12m
• Reliable at low-pressure conditions
• Available with flow regulator
Maestro
• Sprinkler for wide spacing of up to 15m.
• Based on Variable Trajectory Drive for maximal
uniform coverage and close-in watering.
• Designed to operate under windy conditions
(up to 2.0 m/sec, 7.2 km/h). Under stronger wind
conditions reduced spacing is recommended.
• Is used with PVC risers and Amirit system.
Non-drainage System
The addition of a “check valve” (PRC 4040)
to IrriStand & Amirit systems will result in
increased performance and avoid water
logging in low areas.

Agro-technical Considerations
Pesticide control
The IrriStand solid-set system enables complete flexibility
of irrigation timing and spraying.
In some cases, the sprinkler system can be used for
chemigation.
Temperature damage
During hot days season the CA++ uptake by the plant
decreases. Overhead irrigation with IrriStand helps to
minimize tipburn.
Fertigation
The high water distribution uniformity of the IrriStand
system ensures accurate application of fertilizers to
each square meter in the field.
