A new SALTMED 2009 version has been developed within SAFIR |
For further information on this comprehensive model and DSS system contact Dr. Ragab Ragab, CEH, UK, (rag@ceh.ac.uk).
The system calculates irrigation need for a broad selection of crops, now also including crop rotations. It handles several irrigation technologies, irrigation with different waters including brackish water and calculates water and nitrogen flow in 2D.

SAFIR participates in important conferences |
 | A major outcome of the SAFIR research on water saving agriculture is developments of models and decision support systems. Hereby the results can be generalised and made useful to farmers around the world.
SAFIR has further developed the Danish model Daisy to take into account the advanced and water saving drip irrigation strategy, PRD - watering in shift either one or the other part of the crop root system. Detailed processes have been included in Daisy, e.g. 2D water flow and plant hormone (ABA) regulation of stomata
These new developments will be presented at two important conferences
ASA-CSSA-SSSA
2009 International Annual Meetings, November 1-5 in USA, www.acsmeetings.org
INTERDROUGHT-III Conference October 11-16 in China, www.interdrought.org

Coping with water scarcity |
 | When the temperature rises five degrees and there is 20 percent less rain, will there still be food and something called agriculture in Greece, Italy and China? The first lesson of the SAFIR project is that water can be utilized more efficiently.
