Irrigation and Nitrogen Best Management Practices Under Drip Irrigated Vegetable Production

Plastic mulch and drip irrigation are commonly used in high intensity vegetable production regions such as Florida. Drip irrigation can be much more efficient than sprinkler irrigation since only the root zone of the cropped area is irrigated. However, improper irrigation management can lead to wasted water and leaching of soluble chemicals such as nitrate. In this project, several irrigation t...

Nutritional Management of Cereals Cropped Under Irrigation Conditions

Best practices and boundary conditions

The idea of a memory test or of a test of academic achievement is often circumscribed. Tests within the classroom are recognized as important for the assignment of grades, and tests given for academic assessment or achievement have increasingly come to determine the course of children's lives: score well on such tests and you advance, are placed in more challenging classes, and attend better sc...

Deficit Irrigation and Partial Root-Zone Drying Techniques in Processing Tomato Cultivated under Mediterranean Climate Conditions

Due to climate change, the application of water saving strategies is of particular interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of deficit irrigation (DI) and partial root-zone drying (PRD) techniques on the crop water stress index (CWSI), water use efficiency (WUE), and quality parameters in processing tomatoes grown in open field conditions in a Mediterranean climate. Two culti...

Best Practices in Nondiscriminatory Assessment

Nondiscriminatory assessment is often thought of as a set of methods and procedures that are applied in evaluations conducted on individuals from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds. In a similar vein, the phrase bilingual assessment has become the most common way of referencing evaluations on individuals from language backgrounds that are other than monolingual English. Of course, individu...
