Sažetak
Water is an essential component of the Earth’s (agro) ecosystems with direct influence on global food production. As a renewable resource, their management in agroecosystems are of crucial importance for stability and security of global food production. However, from the last several decades, water resources exploited in (agro) ecosystems have been started to be overexposed to different human- induced pressures (pollution by modern in/organic contaminants) and non-sustainable management practices (uncontrolled water abstractions, lacking of purification, recycling and/or reusing of grey waters). Implementation of irrigation practice in agroecosystem is one of the most effective approaches to overcome crop water stress and ensure stable and quality food supply. Improved irrigation management (scheduling, timing, frequency, depth) was confirmed as one of the most feasible approach of achieving large increases in WUE. Current soil-water regime, detected either on real-time in situ approach (with precise sensors, probes) or calculated based on nearby weather recordings (to obtain reference evapotranspiration, crop coefficients, effective rainfalls), may significantly optimise irrigation timing and consequently improve WUE. Processing of such instantly collected data over modern information technologies (smartphone/PC applications) represents some of the most novel approaches in irrigation agroecosystems management.
