Irrigation management in horticultural production is a critical aspect of sustainable agriculture, and this collection of six peer-reviewed reviews provides valuable insights into recent advances in irrigation techniques, precision irrigation management, tomato production, soilless culture production, ornamental production systems, and greenhouse cultivation. The first chapter explores recent advances in irrigation techniques used in sustainable vegetable cultivation, reviewing their performance and efficiency. The second chapter focuses on precision irrigation management in orchard irrigation, emphasizing the importance of matching water supply to plant demand to achieve optimal results. The third chapter assesses irrigation management systems for tomato production, highlighting the need for optimal nutrient management to ensure the production of safe and nutritious tomatoes. The fourth chapter summarizes the common types of irrigation systems found in soilless culture production, as well as the emergence of new systems, including plant-based sensing and monitoring systems. The fifth chapter highlights the need for more sustainable water use in ornamental production systems and the methods which can be used to achieve this, such as reducing runoff volume. The final chapter considers recent advances in irrigation management in greenhouse cultivation, focusing on water balance, crop evapotranspiration techniques, and irrigation scheduling. Overall, this collection provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research and practices in irrigation management in horticultural production, and will be of great interest to researchers, practitioners, and students in the field.
