Simulation of water and nitrogen dynamics as affected by drip fertigation strategies

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...

Growth and nitrogen content of sunflower as affected by the rate and form of nitrogen

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...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
