Nitrogen Fertigation Requirements of Drip-irrigated Strawberries

Fertigation Frequency for Subsurface Drip-Irrigated Broccoli

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...

Subsurface Drip Nitrogen Fertigation of Corn

The efficient management of nitrogen (N) fertilizer and irrigation is of utmost importance because they are two of the greatest expenses for corn production. This project was conducted to determine if yield and efficiency of fertilizer N in corn could be improved by applying N at later developmental stages through a subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system. Experiments in 2014 and 2015 compared ...

Assessing Nitrogen Fertigation Strategies for Drip Irrigated Sugarcane in Southern Africa

Standard nutritional advice for irrigated sugarcane in South Africa and Swaziland is based on soil sample analysis and threshold values that have been determined experimentally over many years with surface-applied fertilisers. Fertilisers are normally applied in solid form during the early stages of crop development and watered in by the next irrigation cycle. The increasing popularity of subsu...

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...
