Comparing canopy temperature and leaf water potential as irrigation scheduling criteria of potato in water-saving irrigation strategies
Authors
Abstract:
Irrigation scheduling is important in irrigation water management. In this study, full (FI),deficit (DI) and partial root drying (PRD) irrigation strategies were applied in Agria and Ramospotato cultivars. Canopy temperature (CT) and leaf water potential (LWP) were assessed as thepotential tools for irrigation scheduling during the vegetative and productive growth stages.LWP varied between ca. -1.4 and -1.6 MPa and was not significantly different between FI, DIand PRD irrigation treatments. The LWP and CT values were not significant between the twopotato cultivars during the measurements, but CT was frequently significant between theirrigation treatments such that the PRD treatments were significantly 5 and 2 oC warmer than FIand DI treatments, respectively. Higher CT in PRD caused significant yield penalty such that DIand FI produced almost two times higher fresh tuber yield. Analysis revealed that CT hadsignificantly higher correlation (r=0.66) with water productivity (weight of fresh tuber yielddivided by volume of applied irrigation water) than LWP, which its correlation was notsignificant (r=0.40). This showed that crop water productivity could be better controlled by CT.Moreover, it was realized that the seven-day irrigation interval was far longer than required andpotatoes in all irrigation treatments were under water stress, especially in PRD, that mightpartially explain the 50% yield penalty of PRD compared to DI. The reason was that due to highatmospheric demand, soil water in the wet part of the root system would be completely depletedearlier by the time of next irrigation event. Conclusively, the CT is recommended as a morereliable crop water status and irrigation scheduling indicator than LWP in response to differentwater-saving irrigation managements.

The dynamic and static deficit (DDI, SDI), partial root drying (DPRD, SPRD) and full (FI)irrigation strategies were applied in Agria and Ramos potato cultivars in a semi-arid area. FIreceived 100% of the potential evapotranspiration (ET); SDI and SPRD received 75% of ETduring the growth period; DDI and DPRD received 90% of ET in the first third, 75% of ET inthe second third and 50% of ET in the...

Effects of different irrigation methods and hormone application on water use efficiency, yield, and leaf biochemical traits in potato
Investigation of different irrigation methods on plants is necessary due to limited water resources and the increasing need for food products. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of sprinkler and drip irrigation systems and hormones on morphological and physiological characteristics of potato. Treatments included sprinkler and drip irrigation systems and hormones (gibbere...

Salmonella has been associated with a number of recent outbreaks of foodborne illness involving sprouted seeds. In this research, we addressed the design of sensor components intended for use in a fully automated detection system. A real−time PCR assay was developed to detect Salmonella in sprout irrigation water. Specific detection was achieved by targeting a region of the invasion gene, invA....

To reveal the impact of Non-Flooding controlled Irrigation (NFI) on the bioavailability and bioaccumulation of metals (Cu, Pb, Cd and Cr) in rice fields, metals concentration in different organs of rice plant growing under both Flooding Irrigation (FI) and NFI were measured. It indicated that metals concentrations in root are always the highest one among all the plant organs and in the spike is...
