Abstract

Irrigation management helps determine when and how much water must be applied to irrigate crops. A mobile application (app) has been developed for irrigation scheduling selected crops for the semi-arid and arid regions of Rajasthan, India. These regions experience extreme temperatures in both the summer and winter months, and erratic rainfall conditions. The app uses the water balance approach to compute the most favourable irrigation cycle for a range of crops for selected locations in the state. It also utilizes meteorological, crop and soil data to derive a daily irrigation schedule for the selected month and location.

一款智能手机应用程序，用于印度西北部作物的灌溉调度

灌溉管理有助于确定灌溉作物的时间和水量。印度拉贾斯坦邦半干旱和干旱地区开发了一款用于灌溉作物调度的移动应用程序。这些地区在夏季和冬季都经历了极端的温度，以及不稳定的降雨条件。该应用程序使用水平衡方法来计算该州选定地点一系列作物的最有利灌溉周期。它还利用气象、作物和土壤数据，得出选定月份和地点的每日灌溉时间表。

期刊介绍： Current Science, published every fortnight by the Association, in collaboration with the Indian Academy of Sciences, is the leading interdisciplinary science journal from India. It was started in 1932 by the then stalwarts of Indian science such as CV Raman, Birbal Sahni, Meghnad Saha, Martin Foster and S.S. Bhatnagar. In 2011, the journal completed one hundred volumes. The journal is intended as a medium for communication and discussion of important issues that concern science and scientific activities. Besides full length research articles and shorter research communications, the journal publishes review articles, scientific correspondence and commentaries, news and views, comments on recently published research papers, opinions on scientific activity, articles on universities, Indian laboratories and institutions, interviews with scientists, personal information, book reviews, etc. It is also a forum to discuss issues and problems faced by science and scientists and an effective medium of interaction among scientists in the country and abroad. Current Science is read by a large community of scientists and the circulation has been continuously going up. Current Science publishes special sections on diverse and topical themes of interest and this has served as a platform for the scientific fraternity to get their work acknowledged and highlighted. Some of the special sections that have been well received in the recent past include remote sensing, waves and symmetry, seismology in India, nanomaterials, AIDS, Alzheimer''s disease, molecular biology of ageing, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Indian monsoon, water, transport, and mountain weather forecasting in India, to name a few. Contributions to these special issues ‘which receive widespread attention’ are from leading scientists in India and abroad.
