The greenhouse drip irrigation systems are among the most advantageous inventions that modern horticulture is experiencing, just because they try to minimize the use of water and other inputs in order to grow plants as much as possible in the right direction. Such drip irrigation is designed in a way to feed water directly to the plant’s roots for minimal wastage of water and nutrients. ...
His experience prior to this includes working as a controlled environment agriculture consultant and developing meters and sensors for fertigation and control systems. He thus brings a deep understanding of the market and growers’ needs to the ...
Both fertilizers were applied by fertigation through the drip system at rates of 56 kg•ha-1 nitrogen per year in 2011-12 and 90 kg•ha-1 nitrogen in 2013. The scientists also evaluated the impact of fertigation on drip system performance with two maintenance options: "flushing" and "no flushing" of driplines. ...
In the production of organic vegetables, nitrogen is important, yet can be quite costly to manage. Nitrogen management is even more challenging when production practices call for the use of polyethylene mulch combined with fertigation. The authors of a new study published in HortScience have found that hydrolyzed fish fertilizer holds promise as an "economically feasible" nitrogen source for ...
