Effects of Irrigation Water Quality on the Recovery of 15N- Fertilizer by Sorghum in Field Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
15N-labeled fertilizer was applied to Sorghum at different rates (0, 100 kg N.ha -1 ) to 1m2 microplots and with two kind of water (well water “WW” and treated wastewater “TWW”) to Sorghum grown in field during 1997 and 1999. Increases in DM production, N uptake and 15 NRF were observed with TWW. About 17% and 36% of the 15Nfertilizer were recovered in the crop with TWW in 1997 and 1999, respectively. Residual effect was higher in TWW (3% vs 5%). Water irrigation quality had no effect on the 15N-labeled fertilizer remaining in the 0-60 cm layer at final harvest. For both water qualities, the major fraction of the residual 15N-fertilizer (about 60%) was recorded in the surface layer. Losses of 15N-labaled fertilizer was unaffected by water irrigation quality being approximately 35% of the applied 15N-fertilizer. TWW irrigation can efficiently substitute WW for irrigation of Sorghum and, simultaneously save nitrogen fertilizer.

Impact of 15N-labeled rice straw and rice straw compost application on N mineralization and N uptake by rice
Incorporation of plant residues in soil affects N and C content and dynamics. This studydetermined the effects of short-term alternative rice (Oryza sativa L.) residue management on Nmineralization and uptake by rice. Pot and laboratory incubation experiments were established byincorporating 15N-labeled rice straw and rice straw compost in paddy soil. The 15N recovered by riceaveraged 16.6%; mo...
متن کاملAssessment Effect of Different level of Nitrogen Fertilizer (Urea Source) and Interval between Irrigation Round on Crop Production of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L., cv. Speed feed)
BACKGROUND: Nutrients play a very important role in chemical, biochemical, physiological, metabolic, geochemical, biogeochemical, and enzymatic processes. Innovations for saving water in irrigated agriculture and thereby improving water use efficiency are of paramount importance in water-scarce regions. Conventional deficit irrigation is one approach that can reduce water use w...
متن کاملNitrate leaching and nitrogen recovery following application of polyolefin-coated urea to potato.
High N fertilizer and irrigation amounts applied to potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) on coarse-textured soils often result in nitrate (NO3) leaching and low recovery of applied fertilizer N. This 3-yr study compared the effects of two rates (140 and 280 kg N ha(-1)) of a single polyolefin-coated urea (PCU) application versus split applications of urea on 'Russet Burbank' potato yield and on NO3 le...
متن کاملEffect of irrigation cut at different stages of growth on yield, yield components and grain quality of different cultivars of sorghum seeds
In order to investigate the effect of water deficit tension on different growth stages on yield, yield components and produced grain quality of sorghum seeds cultivars, an experiments was performed as split plots based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications in Isfahan Ghiam Cultivation and Cattle Farm Company in 2017. The main factor including irrigation cut at four levels...
