title: Fertigation with sprinklers: Food and water security on the Ukrainian steppe
abstract: Facing climate change, soil degradation and sabotage of one third of the country's freshwater resources (due to the war and destruction of the Kakhovka reservoir), the prospects of fertigation on black soils in the south of Ukraine using sprinkler irrigators were examined.By compiling daily soil hydrographs, it is possible to track changing water availability and control the soil water regime to ensure irrigation efficiency, preserve soil condition, and boost yields.Fertigation enables a more un
