Irrigation Strategies to Minimize Nitrate Leaching for Drip Irrigated Tomatoes

Lint yield and seed quality response of drip irrigated cotton under various levels of water

Restricted water resources are a limiting factor for irrigation applications throughout the world. The effects of irrigation regimes (amount) on cotton lint yield are known, but there is little information on the effect of irrigation regimes on seed quality of cotton. In this study, the effects of deficit irrigation after the onset of flowering on lint yield and seed quality of cotton (Gossypiu...

Plasticity of leaf anatomy, chemistry and water economy of irrigated sugar beets grown under Mediterranean conditions

  In a three-year (2004-2006), field experiment, we aimed to study changes in leaf physiological traits (leaf water potential-Ψleaf, leaf water content-LWC, carbon isotope discrimination-Δ, specific leaf area-SLA, chlorophyll content as assessed by SPAD and modified SPAD-MSPAD) and elemental composition (K, Na, Ca, Mg, K/Na, Ca/Mg, total leaf salinity-TLS) of sugar beets (cv. Rizor) grown unde...

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...

Photosynthesis and Biomass Allocation in Oak Seedlings Grown under Shade

Northern’ red oak (Quercus rubra L.) (NRO) and white oak (0. alba L.) (WO) acorns were sown into wooden plots and grown under 30 percent shade screen (30 percent S) or 70 percent shade screen (70 percent S). Seedlings grown under full sun were the controls (C). At the end of the first year, the 30 percent S NRO had 30 percent greater seedling dry weight (DW) than C seedlings. No growth differen...
