Drip irrigation is an essential technology for the sustainable production of carrots (Daucus carota L.) in water-scarce regions, such as the Cariri region of Ceará. This review addresses the fundamentals and management of this system, highlighting agronomic aspects of the crop, evapotranspiration-based irrigation, fertigation, water quality, and the water requirements of carrots. It also emphasizes the importance of efficient water use, precision agriculture, and soil and climate monitoring to increase production efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. It is concluded that drip irrigation, when properly sized and managed, improves water use efficiency, increases productivity, enhances the commercial quality of the roots, and contributes to the sustainability of irrigated agriculture in the Brazilian Semi-Arid region.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
