Abstract
Our investigation was carried out in the area of Fruit growing Research and Consultant non-profit company, at Újfehértó. The pear requires large water quantity, but this pear plantation hasn’t irrigation system not yet. This study reviews the drainage conditions of the area based on digital elevation model, and examined the canopy cover of pear trees by evaluating of the hyperspectral image. Our aims were to determine the exact watershed based irrigation modelling and determining of the canopy% of the pear orchard to facilitate a precision irrigation decision support system.
Highlights
In Hungary, 2% of all cultivated land is irrigated
In Hungary there isn’t any intensive apple and pear orchard, where they would question the importance of the irrigation
The agricultural water management is the unkindly area of the plan based on the Water Framework Directive accepted in December 2009
Summary
In Hungary, 2% of all cultivated land is irrigated. The orchard is relatively not highly water consumer comparison with cereal species. To ensure optimal water capacity values calculating breeding season it is the most important risk factor. It cannot imagine the fruit production without modern irrigation system even in the humid French and German areas. The plan determined present conditions of the 42 surface water catchments and subsurface water bodies in Hungary, and worked out the water management aims. The common aim is the achievement of the good ecological status in our water bodies. The ecological, sociological and environmental respects were significantly upgraded over and above technology point of view. Following we emphasize the critical points that farmers requirement for improving successfully growing technology based on irrigation in a middle time, without completeness
