Irrigation damage

Response of cane to CMU is variable and may possibly be correlated with the amount of rainfall or soil pH. In the dry (30 to 40 inches of rainfall) alkaline (pH 8) areas of Puerto Rico, where sugar cane is irrigated, damage to cane has... 

Instruct patients over the phone to irrigate the eye immediately with water or saline continuously for at least 15 minutes before seeking a clinician. Irrigation dilutes and removes the chemical agent, and is the best way to decrease ocular tissue damage. Patients should then seek immediate care from an ophthalmologist or emergency facility.7... 

The irrigation requirements of halophytes should be similar to that of conventional crops, and the irrigation must not damage the soil... 

Agriculture activities are one of the major generators of salinity but also one of the first to suffer its damage. The salinity of agricultural return flow is derived from two principal sources salinity of the irrigation water and the effects of added...

Beneficial and Harmful Effects. At low levels, sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere is not harmful to crops, but damage can occur at excessive levels (305—309). Crops differ gready in their sensitivity. Forest damage attributed to acid rain is often cited but the observed symptoms seem to have multiple causes and the contribution of sulfur acids is unspecified. The sulfur in precipitation is, up to a point, beneficial to plant growth because sulfur is an essential nutrient. Lessening the sulfur content of the atmosphere requires that supplementary sulfur be provided in fertilizer to some crops some crops already require supplementary sulfur. Sulfur dioxide itself has been found useful in drip irrigation systems (310,311) and in calcareous soils (308). Small field generators have been developed for this purpose.
