Advances in Agricultural Irrigation Management and Technology

Dear Colleagues,

Effective water management is a cornerstone of agricultural sustainability for ensuring food security and environmental resilience. With global water resources under increasing pressure from climate change and population growth, it has become imperative to optimize irrigation efficiency. This Special Issue seeks to highlight how emerging technologies and innovative management strategies can enhance the efficiency of irrigation, reduce water wastage, and promote sustainable agricultural practices.

The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Advanced irrigation techniques and systems;
• Smart irrigation technologies and IoT applications;
• Water use efficiency and conservation methods;
• Sustainable irrigation practices in various climatic conditions;
• Impact of irrigation management on crop yield and quality;
• Integration of remote sensing and GIS in irrigation planning;
• Innovations in water-saving irrigation methods and their applicability across different agricultural settings;
• Research and development into new water-saving and energy-efficient irrigation technologies and equipment.
