Estimating Ammonia Volatilization from Swine-Effluent Droplets in Sprinkle Irrigation

homa State University Research Station in Goodwell, OK to measure volatilization losses of ammoniacal N Irrigation of swine effluent is one of the most economical ways to from swine-effluent applied to the land surface by flood dispose of swine manure. The determination of appropriate application rates requires the quantification of volatilization losses of ammoirrigation. Wu et al. (2003) deve...

Drip irrigation as a delivery system for infestation of field plots with nematodes.

A drip irrigation delivery system was used to infest field sites with the plant-parasitic root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita. Juvenile or egg inocula passed through the system without blockage of emitters or harm to the nematodes. Field sites so infested were available for experimentation. Delivery of approximately 5 x 10 to 10 juveniles or 10 to 3 x 10 eggs per emitter through the drip...

Advantages and Disadvantages of Subsurface Drip Irrigation

The advantages and disadvantages of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) as compared to alternative irrigation systems are conceptually discussed. Each category (advantages and disadvantages) is subdivided into three groups: 1) Water and soil issues; 2) Cropping and cultural practices, and 3) System infrastructure issues. The adaptation and adoption of SDI systems into diverse cropping systems, geo...

Application of nematicides via drip irrigation.

Use of drip, or trickle, irrigation in agriculture has increased rapidly during the past 20 years. In 1970 approximately 50,000 ha in the United States were under drip irrigation, by 1985 the area had increased to over 300,000 ha (6). Irrigation has been used to deliver fertilizers and pesticides (8,9,14,18,27,28), and there are increasing numbers of studies on the application of nematicidal co...
