Yosef and Sagiv, 1982; Stark et al., 1983; Burt et al., 1995). However, very few studies have shown a benefit Subsurface-drip irrigation and fertigation with fluid N fertilizer of frequent or continuous fertigation compared with sources offers substantial flexibility for N fertilizer management. Fertiless frequent fertigation. Bar-Yosef and Sagiv (1982) gation events can be scheduled as often a...

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...

Comparison of sprinkler, trickle and furrow irrigation ef®ciencies for onion production

In the Mesilla Valley of southern New Mexico, furrow irrigation is the primary source of water for growing onions. As the demand for water increases, there will be increasing competition for this limited resource. Water management will become an essential practice used by farmers. Irrigation ef®ciency (IE) is an important factor into improving water management but so is economic return. Therefo...
