Capillary wick irrigation offers a passive means of gradual water delivery, but field evidence comparing wick configurations with conventional drip irrigation remains limited. This study compared annular capillary wick irrigation (AI), straight capil...
Capillary irrigation systems have been investigated for some years as a means to deliver water to plants in container gardening. This review paper identifies that traditional capillary irrigation systems such as capillary wicks, capillary mats, and e...
A wicking bed (WB) is a plant driven system where plants receive water through capillary rise from a self-contained coarse material-filled subsoil reservoir. WBs have been widely promoted as a water-efficient irrigation solution for small-scale and u...
Efficient irrigation is pivotal for viticulture in arid regions; however, solutions that simultaneously stabilize vine water status, sustain yield, and preserve fruit quality remain limited. We evaluated a microfiber-based wicking infiltration irriga...
Soil salinization represents a growing threat to agricultural productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions where evaporation-driven salt accumulation forms surface crusts that inhibit further moisture transport. This study introduces a no...
