P.H. Rank, B. Vishnu
Abstract
Nevertheless, several studies showed the flooding of root zone due to continuous water application. This review discusses the aspects of pulse irrigation and its various strategies. Pulse irrigation creates favorable condition in crop root zone for better growth of plant. However, creating aeration in root zone helped the plant to enhanced the photosynthesis activity which opened the doors of many researches. Plant roots plays a major role in growth under various conditions. With proper irrigation application the favorable aerated environment can be created. Many researches have been proposed with soil water distribution studies and concluded that aeration in the root zone increases the yield. Thus, the effect of pulse irrigation on various aspects such as crop growth, clogging of emitter, soil water distribution and root zone aeration were proposed by numerous researchers are reviewed.
