Operationalizing the increase of water use efficiency and resilience in irrigation – OPERA
Agriculture is confronted with changing weather patterns. For farmers this implies higher risks related to crop growth and field work conditions. Adequate, timely and spatially differentiated measurements of soil moisture become more important for farmers to make decisions on if, when and how to irr
Evaluation and management of As contamination in agricultural water and soil – AgriAs
Arsenic in agricultural soils and water, and its subsequent entering into the food chain cause potential risk to human health and to aquatic and soil organisms. AgriAs addresses the global problem of water and soil pollution by arsenic from multidisciplinary perspective and highlights the needs of s
