Abstract Nowadays, the development of irrigation is increasingly recognized as a necessary factor in agriculture, primarily because global warming. Depending on field conditions, most commonly used method sprinkler irrigation. The spray uniformity sprinklers installed equipment can be characterized by Christiansen-uniformity coefficient (CUc%) and distribution (DU%). Our investigations were car...

ABSTRACT Weed interference is one of the factors that reduces carrot yield considerably. The aim this study was to determine periods weed in carrots cultivated under two localized irrigation systems. experiment used a completely randomized block design, with three replications, using split plot scheme. plots consisted systems (drip and micro sprinkler) subplots corresponded duration coexistence...

Groundwater nitrate contamination has been an issue in the Platte River Valley of Nebraska since the 1960s, with groundwater nitrate-N concentrations frequently in excess of 10 mg L. This article summarizes education and regulatory efforts to reduce the environmental impact of irrigated crop production in the Platte River Valley. In 1988, a Groundwater Management Area (GWMA) was implemented in ...

Fertilizer recommendations for peach cultivation in the southeastern United States were developed decades ago and may not reflect trees’ needs under current practices. Adequate fertilization young trees induces a balanced vegetative/reproductive growth, ensures efficient resource use, is environmentally sound. Droughts region are becoming more common. Supplemental irrigation peaches from time o...

Drip irrigation is the most water efficient system available to water garden. Some systems are so efficient that they only allow a few liters of water per hour to fall into the soil and the best way to water the plants at ground level where they need it the most. Installing an irrigation system such as sprinkler or drip system without automation has always been a difficult and frustrating probl...

In recent years, bean common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) has caused serious yield losses in several countries. CBB is considered mainly a foliar disease in which symptoms initially appear as small water-soaked spots that then enlarge and become necrotic and usually bordered by a chlorotic zone. Xap epiphytic population community has a critical role...

homa State University Research Station in Goodwell, OK to measure volatilization losses of ammoniacal N Irrigation of swine effluent is one of the most economical ways to from swine-effluent applied to the land surface by flood dispose of swine manure. The determination of appropriate application rates requires the quantification of volatilization losses of ammoirrigation. Wu et al. (2003) deve...

A software called FRUPAT was developed for calculating input and output coefficients (Technical Coefficients) of fruit production systems in South Patagonia. FRUPAT combined locations (Río Chubut valley; Sarmiento valley; Los Antiguos valley; Río Chico valley), edaphic environment (good quality soil with water-table depth exceeding 2 m; good quality soil with water-table depth between 1 and 2 m...
