evaluation of irrigation water management and boron fertilizer to increase water use efficiency of sugar beet

this study evaluated the irrigation water management and different amounts of boron fertilizer affacts on yield and and water use efficiency of sugar beet. the two-factor factorial design in randomized complete block with three replications of irrigation and different levels of boron fertilizer for three years (2000-02) was designed in qazvin. the main four irrigation treatments were t1, t2, t3...

Smart Fertilizer Provides K When and Where Needed

A new fertilizer technology developed at Penn State University offers several potential benefits for turfgrass cultivation. The new technology employs a phosphorus buffering system (PBS), which , maintains a steady phosphorus concentration in the soil solution over time. The PBS has the size and consistency of sand (Fig. 1) and can be mixed with any soil media. Once charged with phosphorus, the...

Data sharing needed to increase quality and decrease costs.

tronic systems must talk with each other or the whole process falls apart. the Wisconsin Pharmacy Quality collaborative is a program of the Pharmacy Society of Wisconsin that received an innovation award from centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to improve medication management for the people of Wisconsin. the special article in this issue of the WMJ describes the project and its goals and ...

Harnessing the microcirculation to increase dialysis efficiency.

Accessible online at: www.karger.com/journals/nef Dear Sir, Our efforts to increase the efficiency of the dialysis process have, so far, focussed on what happens within the dialyser. Augmenting such parameters as blood and dialysis fluid flowrates and dialyser surface area enhances small solute clearance. [1, 2] The hitherto neglected aspect is that the real membrane exchange area is not within...
