Irrigation and Nitrogen Best Management Practices Under Drip Irrigated Vegetable Production
Abstract Plastic mulch and drip irrigation are commonly used in high intensity vegetable production regions such as Florida. Drip irrigation can be much more efficient than sprinkler irrigation since only the root zone of the cropped area is irrigated. However, improper irrigation management can lead to wasted water and leaching of soluble chemicals such as nitrate. In this project, several ...

Subsurface drip and overhead irrigation: a comparison of plant boll distribution in upland cotton
Although subsurface drip (SSD) is used as a water-efficient alternative to overhead irrigation in many crops, the effects of SSD on the distribution of bolls on cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L.) have not been thoroughly examined. The purpose of this study was to add to the current knowledge about the effects of SSD on cotton yield dynamics. Cultivar DP 488 BG/RR was grown in three studies ...

The use of treated wastewater and fertigation in greenhouse pepper crop as affecting growth and fruit quality
The performance and suitability of tertiary treated wastewater (TW) and/or fertigation (F) in pepper plants were studied over a 4-month period in greenhouse conditions. Four treatments were used consisting of (1) water, (2) water + F, (3) TW, and (4) TW + F. The F and/or TW application increased plant height and plant biomass compared with the control plants (irrigated with water) ...

Summer Irrigation Makes the Crop
Summer Irrigation Makes the Crop Summertime. At this point in the growing season, fruit for tree and vine crops has long been set. Now, the challenge is to bring as much of this yield potential to harvest, and at the desired quality. Irrigation management is crucial to achieve this goal. For most crops, irrigation should provide readily available soil moisture continuously so that fruit and ...

LG Sound, controlling algae in irrigation reservoirs
Algae growth in irrigation water can cause a serious problem. Algae in irrigation tanks can clog the entire irrigation system, such as the pumps, filters, drip-installation and sprinkler nozzles. Besides that the algae and their by-products can also be spread over the irrigated area. In addition, some types of fungi, also present in these waters, can be harmful for the plants grown. Typical ...

Soil Water Sensors for Agriculture – Theory and Issues
Soil water sensors have been used for irrigation and water management in agriculture for many years, but with limited success in many cases. Nonetheless, the use of soil water sensors in increasing as water scarcity increases and, conversely, problems associated with over irrigation also increase. Common problems with soil water sensing included sensor failure, problems with wiring, lack of or ...
