However, the interactions between the adsorbed toxic substances and the MPs biofilm …

Mulched drip irrigation is the primary irrigation technology for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions. In recent years, the increasing amount of residual …

Water scarcity is a global concern, with irrigation of food crops contributing significantly to
freshwater depletion. Drip irrigation technology reduces water consumption but faces issues …

Utilizing reclaimed water by drip irrigation technology proves to be an effective strategy for
mitigating agricultural water scarcity. Nevertheless, the formation of clogging substances …

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) and biofilm are critical in removing contaminants in
aquatic environments, but the environmental behavior and ecological toxicity of SPM-biofilm …

The promotion of drip irrigation technology has been severely constrained by the emitter
clogging caused by sediment deposition when using high-sediment loaded water. To fill this …

To improve the irrigation quality and anti-clogging performance of the emitter, it is necessary
to design and optimize its flow channel structure. The shunt-hedging drip irrigation emitter …

Subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is a highly efficient and safe method for water reuse,
particularly with biogas slurry. However, emitter clogging risks are high and it was hard to …
