Language: English Descriptors: Soil water movement; Flow; Trickle irrigation; Ponding; Saturated conditions; Surface layers; NumeRical analysis; Simulation models Abstract: Estimating the size of the ponded surface area is a major source of error in modeling water movement under tickle irrigation. After reviewing available approaches and models for simulating water flow under trickle irrigation, we present a new numerical solution of the governing partial differential equations that improves the prediction of the size of the ponded area at the soil surface. A common formulation could be used for both Cartesian and axicylindrical flow geometries. The spatial operator was approximated using finite differences, and time integration was performed with an implicit method. Nonlinearity was treated by means of a fixed point iterative algorithm. The proposed model is applicable to saturated-unsaturated flow in layered soils having anisotropic hydraulic properties. Accuracy and stability of the solution are checked and comparisons made with previous numerical solutions for several trickle irrigation and other unsaturated flow problems. 5 NAL Call.

The unsaturated hydraulic conductivity was estimated from measured soil water retention and saturated hydraulic conductivities. Observed volumetric soil water contents and saturated areas on the soil surface were compared with model predictions. The effects of anisotropy and soil surface crusting on experimental and calculated soil water distributions were also investigated. Relatively good agreement was obtained between predicted and measured soil water content distributions vs. depth. The shape of the observed wetted soil volume was also predicted reasonably well. The effects of possible errors in the hydraulic characteristics on calculated water content distributions are discussed. 6 NAL Call. No.: TD201.A4 An analytical solution for flow in a manifold.

Language: English Descriptors: Lycopersicon esculentum; Trickle irrigation; Subsurface irrigation; Furrow irrigation; Plastic mulches; Mulching; Water use efficiency; Crop yield Abstract: Subsurface trickle and furrow irrigation of fresh-market tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), with or without plastic mulch, were compared for three consecutive growing seasons. Plots were irrigated when available soil water was 40% depleted. Marketable tomato yield was 22% greater for plants grown with trickle irrigation than with furrow irrigation. Use of black plastic mulch resulted in 31% and 16% greater marketable tomato yield in Spring 1983 and 1984, than similar bare-soil (unmulched) treatments, respectively. In Fall 1983, use of white/black (top/bottom) laminated plastic mulch reduced yields by 12% compared to similar unmulched treatments. Total water (irrigation plus precipitation) applied to furrow-irrigated plots nearly equalled pan evaporation (Epan). Trickle-irrigated plots received less than 45% of Epan in all seasons, resulting in increased water-use efficiency with drip irrigation. Trickle irrigation as applied did not affect soluble salts concentration in the soils. 27 NAL Call. No.: FICHE S-72 Comparison of surge and cablegation to continuous furrow irrigation. Israeli, I.

Language: English Descriptors: Experimental design; Experimental equipment; Trickle irrigation; Saline water; Irrigation water; Gradients; Nitrogen fertilizers Abstract: Multivariable experiments involving different water salinities are usually conducted using drip irrigation. Preparing the irrigation system to apply these different treatments requires a considerable investment of labor and materials. This study was conducted to examine an alternative irrigation system that is relatively simple and inexpensive, yet produces gradients of two variables. A variation of the line-source irrigation system was tested using water salinity and N levels as variables. The middle line of a triple line-source irrigated using saline water (7.0 dS m-1), while the two parallel outside lines irrigated using nonsaline water (1.0 dS m-1). A second triple line-source using only nonsaline water was superimposed perpendicularly on the first set. Ammonium nitrate was injected into the middle line. This layout produced linear gradients for both variables (r2 = 0.99) perpendicular to their source and provided every possible combination of saline water concentrations (7.0-1.0 dS m-1) and N levels (8.1-0.0 mmol L-1). It proved to be a simple yet highly informative system. 30 NAL Call. No.: 309.9 N216 Continuous use of polyethylene mulched beds with overhead or drip irrigation for successive vegetable production.

Language: English Descriptors: Georgia; Drainage; Subsurface irrigation; Simulation models; Soil water; Vaccination; Water table; Coastal areas; Hydraulic conductivity Abstract: This project was conducted on the Bell farm located in Pierce County, GA on Pelham loamy sand soil. The study area included 40 ha of land under controlled drainage-subirrigation (CD- SI) system of which 38 ha were in blueberries. The system installation included two drain spacings of 15.3 and 20 m, and two types of control structures for the drainage system outlet water level, which were an open ditch and a closed conduit system network. The blueberry section of the field was in a closed conduit system network with lateral drains spaced at 15.3 m. Seventeen punch-tape recorders were used to measure the water table elevations in the soil profile within the field over the drain tiles, and midway between drainlines, at the open ditch and closed system control structures (one for each), and in an undrained- nonirrigated section of the farm. A punch-tape rainfall recorder was also used to measure rainfall at the site. Surface runoff, drainage effluent, or subirrigation volume was not measured. Experimental results showed that the water table and soil-water conditions could be adequately managed in the blueberry field, thus excellent crop growth and yield resulted. DRAINMOD, a water management model for shallow water table conditions, was used to simulate the system performance for the study site. Simulation results indicated that a subsurface drain spacing of 20 m is satisfactory for controlled drainage-subirrigation (CD-SI) systems for Pelham loamy sand soils in Pierce County, GA. Simulations were done using 20 years of climatological data from Augusta, GA. Additional research is needed to develop specific design guides for other soil types in the Georgia Flatwoods region. 46 NAL Call.

Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: California; Cotton; Irrigated farming; Trickle irrigation; Drainage; Innovation adoption; Water conservation; Farm management; Farmland; Farm inputs; Water costs; Price policy; Environmental policy; Pollution; Profitability; Simulation models Abstract: A general model of adoption of input-conserving technologies by competitive firms is introduced using drip irrigation as an example. An environmental regulation such as a drainage effluent charge is shown to influence adoption. Early adopters are likely to be producers with less efficient fixed assets (land of low quality or antiquated capital), higher input costs (higher water prices or greater depth to groundwater), and in more environmentally sensitive regions. Simulations show that drainage regulations can be expected to play a major role in adoption of more efficient irrigation technologies in California. Thus, conservation may be a key to solving resource scarcity problems and reducing external environmental costs. 89 NAL Call. No.: SB369.I5 1988 Effects of soil heating on 'Navelina' orange.

Language: English Descriptors: Asparagus officinalis; Planting methods; Sprinkler irrigation; Trickle irrigation; Responses; Survival; Yield response functions; Transplants; Spears; Sandy loam soils Abstract: New Jersey 'Syn 4' asparagus (Asparagus officinalis, L.) was grown on a sandy loam soil to compare plant survival and yield of asparagus grown from crowns and transplants under four irrigation treatments: sprinkler (SPR), surface trickle (ST), subsurface trickle (SST), and no irrigation (NI). While plant survival of crowns was not appreciably influenced by any irrigation treatment, survival of transplants was significantly increased by SST. Total and marketable yields from crowns and transplants were similar in the first harvest season (year 3). However, in years 4 and 5, the yield of crowns was higher than that of transplants. Subsurface trickle increased yield from transplants in years 4 and 5 and increased yield from crowns in year 5. All irrigation methods significantly increased both spear production (spear/ha) and average spear weight. Subsurface trickle irrigation resulted in the largest increase over NI in total yield and spear production. 97 NAL Call. No.:TC803.I78 Estimating number and duration of on-times for surge irrigation.

Language: English Descriptors: Lycopersicon esculentum; Ripening; Functional disorders; Fruit; Nutrient contents of plants; Trickle irrigation; Nitrogen fertilizers; Potassium fertilizers; Application date; Fertirrigation Abstract: Tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were grown on polyethylene-mulched beds of an Arrendondo fine sand during two seasons to evaluate the effects of trickle irrigation-applied N and/or K, percentages of trickle-applied nutrient(s) (50%, 75%, and 100%), and schedules of nutrient application (variable, 2% to 12.5% of total amount weekly, or constant, 8.3% of the total amount weekly) on the occurrence of fruit external and internal blotchy ripening and fruit mineral nutrient concentration. Trickle-applied fertilizer was injected into the irrigation water weekly during the first 12 weeks of each season. External and internal blotchy ripening were less severe with trickle-applied N supplied as N + K or N than with preplant-applied N. Trickle- applied N + K or N resulted in higher fruit concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg than with all preplant-applied N. Internal fruit quality improved slightly as the trickle-applied percentage of N and/or K increased from 50% to 100%, but significant differences in exterior quality were not obtained. Internal fruit quality was higher early in the season than late in the season during both years, but this response was not associated with fruit elemental concentration. The weekly schedule of nutrient injection had no significant effect on fruit quality or fruit elemental concentration. Highest yields of high-quality fruit were obtained with 50% trickle-applied N + K. 105 NAL Call. No.: FICHE S-72 Feedback control of cablegation irrigation systems. Trout, T.J.; Kincaid, D.C.

Language: English Descriptors: Utah; Irrigated soils; Pulse irrigation; Soil water content; Saturated hydraulic conductivity; Bulk density; Soil types (textural); Infiltration; Simulation models; Physico-chemical properties of soil Abstract: Surge flow irrigation was developed, in part, to take advantage of the property of some soils whereby irrigation water is more evenly distributed along the field by applying the water in "surges" (on and off cycles) instead of continuously. Thus, if water advances more during the second on-time of irrigation than the first, there must be some change in soil properties during the previous off-time. Three soils were used in this study: Nibley silty clay loam (a fine, mixed, mesic Aquic Argiustoll), Millville silt loam (a coarse-silty, carbonatic, mesic Typic Haploxeroll), and Kidman sandy loam (a coarse-loamy, mixed, mesic Calcic Haploxeroll). It was demonstrated by field experiments that the soil surface of the coarse and medium-textured soils consolidated markedly (soil surface elevation decreased about 3 mm) with surge compared to continuous water application for the first irrigation following spring tillage. The saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) of these soils decreased about 45% from the first to the second on-time. The surge effect was more pronounced during the first than the second irrigation. Most of the effect measured occurred during the first 10 to 20 min of the first off-time. Consolidation and Ksat of the fine-textured soil was not changed significantly by the same treatment. Two simple and practical field methods to evaluate this surge effect on soil hydraulic properties were developed: (i) measurement of soil-surface consolidation by measuring the soil-surface elevation changes, and (ii) measurement of Ksat by the dripper method. The soil surface level decreased by more than 1 mm and Ksat changed by about 25% when the surge effect was significant. An infiltration model developed during this study showed that simulated cumulative infiltration for surge water application was similar to measured results for the three soils studied. 112 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Citrus paradisi; Trickle irrigation; Sprinkler irrigation; Overhead irrigation; Growth rate; Canopy; Leaf area; Crop yield Abstract: Fruit and vegetative growth of 21-year-old grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) trees on well-drained sandy soil was studied in central Florida. Drip, microsprinkler, and overhead sprinkler irrigation was compared at two levels of irrigation (150 and 450 mm.year-1). Significant differences in leaf area, fruit size, fruit growth, new flush growth, and canopy area were found with different irrigation systems applying similar amounts of water. Growth was improved by irrigation even in a year of high rainfall (1410 mm). With mature trees, drip systems promoted the least growth, while overhead sprinkler systems promoted the most. Leaf fresh and dry weights and individual leaf areas in the overhead sprinkler treatments were 40% to 50% greater than in the drip or nonirrigated treatments, while specific leaf weight and leaf water content per unit dry weight were similar for all treatments. Final fruit size and tree canopy area were 9% to 20% greater in the overhead sprinkler treatments than in the corresponding drip or nonirrigated treatments. Responses to microsprinklers were generally intermediate between the overhead sprinkler and the drip treatments. Because of the low soil area coverage, applying water at the higher rate with the drip system did not improve growth as well as the overhead system at the lower rate. With mature grapefruit trees under central Florida conditions, systems providing greater soil area coverage gave better leaf and fruit growth than systems providing less soil coverage. 122 NAL Call.

Plant establishment and growth were optimal with 360 degrees LVSE. Differences between irrigation treatments were minimized with mulch. Mulch increased growth of drip-irrigated but not of LVSE-irrigated plants and increased the yield of two-emitter and 360 degrees LVSE-irrigated plants but not of one-emitter or 40 degrees LVSE-irrigated plants. Treatment effects on growth were more apparent in the early establishment phase than in the 4th year of growth and with 'Tifblue' than 'Delite'. Frost damage on 'Delite' was reduced by mulch. Vegetative bud development in the spring and fruit maturity were usually delayed on plants grown between sodded alleys or with mulch. Leaf drop in the fall was also delayed by mulch. 125 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Florida; Lycopersicon esculentum; Transplanting; Age differences; Responses; Growth; Trickle irrigation; Subsurface irrigation; Yield response functions; Chlorophyll; Yield components Abstract: Studies were conducted to evaluate growth of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) transplants in the field in response to age of transplants in Spring and Fall 1989. Transplants were 2 (2W), 3 (3W), 4 (4W), 5 (5W), or 6 (6W) weeks old. Drip and subseepage irrigation were used. In spring, older transplants produced more shoot and root growth up to 2 (T2) weeks after transplanting. At 3 (T3) and 4 (T4) weeks after transplanting, there were no differences between 4W, 5W, and 6W transplants. These trends were independent of irrigation systems. Total yield and early yield were similar for all transplant ages. In fall, shoot growth increased linearly with increasing transplant age at T0, but not thereafter. Chlorophyll a + b increased over time, but no treatment differences were found at T4. At planting, 2W transplants had a higher Chl a:b ratio than older transplants. This difference was reduced at T1 and T2 and became insignificant at T4. These results indicate that no improvement in yields was obtained using the traditional older transplants. Younger transplants might be used to achieve rapid seedling establishment with minimal transplant production costs. 126 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Chrysanthemum; Container grown plants; Trickle irrigation; Innovations; Computer applications; Automatic control; Soil moisture; Soil water budget; Timing; Greenhouse culture Abstract: Chrysanthemum x morifolium Ramat. cv. Polaris plants were grown in containers using an irrigation system based either on time (5 min/day) or on soil moisture tensions of -1.5, -3.5, -7.5, and -15 kPa. Soil moisture tensions of -7.5 or -15 kPa caused significant reductions over the time-based treatment in fresh and dry weights of leaves, stems, and inflorescences and total leaf area, but had no influence on inflorescence diameter or cropping time. Stem length was reduced in those plants exposed to the two higher tensions; however, the resulting cut flowers were still long enough to satisfy commercial demands. The amount of water applied in tension-based treatments was 8% to 24% that applied in the time- based treatment. The -1.5-and -3.5-kPa treatments were best suited for minimizing water use while maintaining high crop productivity. 128 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: North Carolina; Capsicum annuum; Phytophthora capsici; Root rots; Spread; Epidemics; Epidemiology; Rain; Trickle irrigation; Inoculum density; Fields Abstract: Peppers (Capsicum annuum) were grown in three fields in which main plots were irrigated either on a more frequent or less frequent basis. Soil in subplots was left uninfested or was infested 5-6 wk after transplanting with one of three inoculum densities of Phytophthora capsici. In the Clayton field in 1988, where rainfall was low (16 cm), disease onset occurred 26 days after infestation in plots that were drip irrigated more frequently, whereas disease onset occurred 39 days after infestation in plots that were drip irrigated less frequently. Final disease incidence, the rate of disease increase, and mean area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) values were significantly greater in infested plots irrigated on the more frequent than the less frequent schedule. More rainfall occurred at the Clinton and Clayton fields in 1988 and 1989, respectively (31 and 22 cm), than at the Clayton field in 1988. Disease in plants in the higher rainfall fields progressed rapidly at all inoculum densities after a single rainfall >2.0 cm, and onset was earlier (5-7 days after infestation) than at the low rainfall field. Final disease incidence was independent of the density of inoculum applied at all three locations. However, inoculum density and rainfall had significant linear effects on the mean AUDPC values and yield. Mean AUDPC from the three field locations were 24.4, 68.2, and 60.9%-days per day and mean yields were 10.4, 2.3, and 2.1 kg/plot in fields receiving 16, 22, and 31 cm of total rainfall, respectively. Irrigation also increased mean AUDPC values significantly when means were calculated over all locations. Mean AUDPC values were 57.5%-days per day in plots irrigated more frequently and 44.8%-days per day in plots irrigated less frequently. Irrigation increased disease progress to the greatest extent in the low rainfall field in Clayton in 1988. The cumulative centimeters of rainfall between infestation of plots and the final disease assessment was correlated negatively. 144 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Cucumis sativus; Greenhouse culture; Trickle irrigation; Nutrient solutions; Sodium chloride; Leaves; Gas exchange; Carbon dioxide; Photosynthesis; Yield response functions Abstract: Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Fidelio) grown in sand culture in the greenhouse was trickle-irrigated with nutrient solution containing 0, 10, or 50 mm NaCl. Gas exchange of individual leaves was measured by a portable infrared gas analyzer at saturating photosynthetic photon flux. Salt at 10 mm had no detectable effect on plant performance, but exposure to 50 mm NaCl caused net CO2 fixation to decline by 33% and 48% in the eighth and ninth oldest leaves, respectively. Stomatal conductance and transpiration rate were also reduced (approximately 50%) in these leaves. These differences, as well as lower leaf water potentials, were associated with a 60% reduction in fruit fresh weight. The relationship between net CO2 fixation and intercellular (substomatal) CO2 concentrations was determined for individual, attached leaves of plants with roots exposed to various concentrations of NaCl in hydroponics. With 50 and 100 mm NaCl, a nonstomatal contribution to the inhibition of photosynthesis at the chloroplast level was indicated by strong inhibition of CO2 fixation at a saturating CO2 concentration. Salt-induced inhibition of CO2 fixation was associated with accumulation of Na+ and Cl-, and lower K+ in the individual leaves examined. 149 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Virginia; Arachis hypogaea; Sprinkler irrigation; Trickle irrigation; Subsurface irrigation; Wells; Sodium; Water composition and quality; Irrigation water; Crop yield; Crop quality Abstract: Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), irrigated only recently in the coastal plain region of Virginia and North Carolina, is produced in an area where sodic deep water sources are more readily available than high quality shallow water sources. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of irrigation water qualtiy and irrigation method on the yield and grade of peanut. Virginia- type peanuts (cv. VA 81B) were grown on a Kenansville loamy sand (loamy, siliceous, thermic Arenic Hapludult) in Suffolk, VA from 1984 to 1987. Peanuts were irrigated with either overhead sprinklers or deep buried trickle lines using deep-well (142 m) and shallow-well (10 m) water. Trickle lines were buried 350 to 410 mm below each row. Deep-well water had 220 mg Na L-1, a pH of 8.5, and a sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of 103. Shallow-well water had 4.8 mg Na L-1, a pH of 4.8, and an SAR of 3.1. Shallow-well, trickle- irrigated peanuts yielded 5003 kg ha-1 or 14% higher than the nonirrigated treatment. Deep-well, sprinkler-irrigated peanuts averaged 4374 kg ha-1 for 4 yr, which was 21 kg ha-1 lower than the nonirrigated treatment. The price of deep-well, sprinkler-irrigated peanuts was also lower than all other treatments due to lower percentages of extra-large kernels, total sound mature kernels, and fancy pods. Deep-well water applied below 300 mm through trickle irrigation produced peanuts of comparable quality and quantity as the shallow-well, trickle, or sprinkler-irrigation treatments. Irrigation of peanuts was beneficial in this humid region. There was no difference in peanut yield or grade when sprinkler or trickle irrigation was used with good quality irrigation water, but trickle irrigation required only 44% as much water. With a sodic water source, trickle irrigation was superior to sprinkler application. 156 NAL Call. No.:TC801.I66 Irrigation scheduling in a mature peach orchard using tensiometers and dendrometers.

Language: English Descriptors: Drainage; Hydraulic conductivity; Subsurface irrigation; Water table; Mathematical models; Theory Abstract: Conventional theory for predicting water table response to drainage and subirrigation generally assumes that the water table elevation directly over the drain is equal to the pressure head in the drain. This is contrary to field measurements which show head losses near the drain may be significant. Numerical methods were used in this study to solve the Boussinesq equation subject to radial flow conditions near the drain. Solutions were obtained for both drainage and subirrigation. Solutions showed that head losses near the drain make up a relatively large percentage of the total head loss for subirrigation with narrow drain spacings. As a percentage of the total, the radial head loss near the drain increases with increasing hydraulic conductivity and profile depth, and with decreasing drain spacing. This partially explains differences between relatively flat water table profiles measured in the field and steeper profiles predicted by previous theory. Results showed that use of the conventional "Hooghoudt equivalent depth" method of correcting for convergence near the drain may lead to significant errors in predicted water table elevations and flow rates for subirrigation. The methods presented also provide a means of correcting for convergence head losses when the drain rests on the impermeable layer. 176 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Lycopersicon esculentum; Calcium nitrate; Fertigation; Trickle irrigation; Application; Frequency; Nitrate nitrogen; Soil chemistry; Crop yield; Nitrogen content; Leaves; Nutrient uptake; Raised beds Abstract: Studies were conducted to determine the effect of N application frequency through drip irrigation on soil NO3-N movement in the bed profile and on yield and N uptake by tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. 'Sunny') at two locations. increasing N application frequency resulted in increased yields at Clayton, N.C., but not at Charleston, S.C. The number of fruit produced was not affected by N treatment at either location, but fruit size increased with increasing N application frequency at Clayton. Foliage N concentration decreased seasonally, but neither foliage N concentration nor total N content of the above-ground portion of the plants was affected by N application frequency. Regardless of N application frequency, NO3-N concentrations within the raised bed decreased with time due to plant uptake and leaching. Nitrogen levels declined most rapidly in the area closest to the drip tube. 186 NAL Call. No.:S631.F422 Nitrogen fertigation of trickle-irrigated potato. Papadopoulos, I.

Language: English Descriptors: Capsicum annuum; Cultivars; Seed crops; Nitrogen fertilizers; Application; Frequency; Application date; Developmental stages; Fertirrigation; Trickle irrigation; Yield response functions; Crop quality Abstract: The effects of six applied N treatments differing by rates and frequencies of application on the yield and quality of pepper (Capsicum annuum var. annuum L. 'Anaheim Chili') grown for seed was studied. The timing of N applications was based on crop phenology, leaf petiole nitrate-nitrogen concentrations (NO3-N) minimum thresholds, and scheduled calendar applications of fixed amounts of N. Solubilized NH4NO3 was applied through a trickle- irrigation system to ensure uniform and timely applications of N. Rate of mature (green and red) fruit production was unaffected by any treatment except weekly applications of 28 kg.ha-1 of N, which stopped production of mature fruit before all other treatments. Early season floral bud and flower production increased with increasing amounts of N. The two highest total N treatments produced more floral buds and flowers late in the season than the other treatments. Total fruit production was maximized at 240 kg N/ha. Differences in total fruit production due to frequency of N application resulted at the highest total N level. Red fruit production tended to be maximized with total seasonal applied N levels of 240 kg.ha-1 and below, although weekly applications of N reduced production. Total seed yield was a function of red fruit production. Pure-live seed (PLS) production was a function of total seed production. Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) for red fruit production also decreased with N rates >240 kg.ha-1, but PLS yield and NUE decreased in a near-linear fashion as the amount of total seasonal applied N increased, regardless of application frequency. Season average NO3-N (AVE NO3-N) values >4500 mg.kg-1 had total seed and PLS yields less than those treatments <4000 mg.kg-1. Six- day germination percentage was reduced with weekly N applications of 14 kg.ha-1. Seed mass was reduced with weekly N applications of 28 kg.ha-1. Final germination percent, seedling root length and weight, and field emergence were unaffected by any of the N treatments. 191 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: British Columbia; Malus pumila; Waste waters; Waste utilization; Sewage effluent; Irrigation water; Trickle irrigation; Nitrogen fertilizers; Nutrient removal by plants; Leaf analysis; Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Potassium; Crop yield; Fruit Abstract: 'Macspur McIntosh' and 'Red Chief Delicious' apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) on M.7a rootstock were subjected to treatments involving all combinations of two types of irrigation water (well-water or municipal effluent) from 1983, the year of planting, through 1987 and three rates of N fertilization (0, 200, 400 g NH4NO3/tree per year), from 1984 through 1987. The zero N treatment was increased to 100 g NH4NO3/tree per year in 1986 due to low vigor of these trees. Effluent irrigation increased leaf N, P, and K concentration in 4 of 5 years for 'McIntosh', while leaf N, P, and K increased in 1, 4, and 2 years, respectively, for 'Delicious'. Effluent irrigation increased trunk diameter increment in all years and fruit number and yield in 1985-86 for both cultivars. No major horticultural limitations to the use of effluent irrigation were observed. Nitrogen fertilization increased leaf N in 3 years for 'McIntosh' and 2 years for 'Delicious', while leaf P and K were decreased at the highest N rate in 2 years for each cultivar. Nitrogen fertilization did not increase trunk diameter and increased fruit number and yield only in 1986 after 3 years of a zero N treatment. The results implied a role for P in the establishment and early growth and yield of young apple trees. 194 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Florida; Saccharum; Subsurface irrigation; Trickle irrigation; Evapotranspiration; Leaf area index; Crop yield; Correlation; Mathematical models Abstract: The determination of the considerable amount of water used in south Florida for crop production has been time-consuming and expensive. The Standard Class A National Weather Service pan evaporation (SPE) has been used to estimate evapotranspiration (ET), but requires crop coefficients, ET/SPE, which vary with plant development stage, season, leaf area index (LAI), yield, and irrigation method. The objective of this study was to establish relationships among ET, SPE, LAI, yield of plant and two ratoon crops of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), and two irrigation methods. Lysimeters were used for 3 yr (1980-1982) on a Boca fine sand (loamy, siliceous, hyperthermic Arenic Ochraqualfs). Irrigation methods were drip irrigation and subirrigation systems. Total crop seasonal ET values were 1322 mm for drip irrigation, and 1275 mm for subirrigation. The sugarcane average yield under drip irrigation (143 t/ha) was significantly higher than that under subirrigation (119 t/ha), and was linearly related to the ET. The crop coefficient is curvilinearly related to the LAI. The relationship of ET/SPE to LAI was: 0.649 + 0.185 LAI -0.025 LAI2 (R2 = 0.77) for both irrigation methods. The relationship of ET/SPE to LAI of the second ratoon under subirrigation was: 0.599 + 0.089 LAI - 0.011LAI2 (R2 = 0.87). 220 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Vaccinium ashei; Root distribution; Soil depth; Sandy loam soils; Mulches; Sawdust; Trickle irrigation; Sprinkler irrigation; Geometry; Mineral soils Abstract: We studied the horizontal and vertical root distribution of 3-year-old 'Climax' rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium ashei Reade) in a sandy loam soil. Root density decreased logarithmically in the horizontal direction from the crown and linearly with depth. Ninety percent of the roots were within 0 to 0.38 m from the crown and 0 to 0.45 m depth. Roots spread more within the rows than across rows. Sawdust mulch increased the radial spread of roots, but did not promote rooting in the top 0.15 m of soil. Compared to one or two drip emitters per plants, low-volume spray emitters increased radial spread of roots, but only in combination with mulching. Greatest vertical rooting occurred with a single emitter at the base of the plant without mulch. Emitters placed 0.46 m from the crown of the plant did not help the spread of roots towards these emitters. 229 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Lycopersicon esculentum; Cucumis sativus; Trickle irrigation; Spacing; Design criteria; Plant water relations; Water requirements; Root distribution; Soil water content Abstract: Two trickle irrigation experiments were conducted during two successive years with cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) grown on a coarse-textured soil in ground beds in a greenhouse. Several trickle irrigation design characteristics (emitter spacings of 15, 30, and 45 cm and one or two laterals per crop row) and water management variables (2 or 8 liters/hr per emitter water application rates and water quantities equivalent to 0.25- and 0.50-times pan evaporation) were examined for their effect on soil water content, root distribution, and plant water status. Water application rates did not influence root density distributions or plant water status; however, the 8 liters.hr-1 water application rate resulted in higher water content in the top 20 cm of soil than the lower application rate. The higher water quantity resulted in higher soil water content, higher root density, and improved plant water status than with the lower quantity. Mature plants had root systems that were well-adapted to the different soil water distributions. Only the amount of water applied influenced the water status of mature cucumber plants and cucumber fruit yields. 232 NAL Call.

The FS : PS seedling dry weight ratio of 0.44 indicated a serious replant problem. Leaf nutrient content was generally higher in PS than FS seedlings. Multiple-regression analysis indicated that leaf K and root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans Filipjev) primary inoculum accounted for 75% of the variation in FS seedling dry weight. Apple seedling dry weight in FS was 97% of that in PS following a marigold (Tagetes patula L. cv. Sparky) cover crop, and 75% following oats (Avena sativa L. cv. Saia). Root-lesion nematodes were nearly eliminated from the plots with marigold. Other cover crops and weed-free fallow period were less effective in controlling apple replant disease and/or phytonematodes. 234 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Florida; Lycopersicon esculentum; Irrigation systems; Lysimeters; Plant water relations; Soil depth; Soil properties; Soil water potential; Water table Abstract: Vegetables in Florida are often grown on plastic-mulched beds in sandy soils that commonly require irrigation even if they are subject to naturally occurring high water tables. Increasingly, these crops are being irrigated with line source drip irrigation systems. In this study, experiments were conducted in lysimeters to determine the redistribution and extraction patterns of a tomato crop under similar soil and irrigation management conditions. Soil water potential data were continuously collected using, a microcomputer-based, tensiometer-pressure transducer, data acquisition system. These data were used to develop soil water equipotential lines in the bedded soil profile, from which redistribution and extraction patterns were determined. The data indicated that very little change in soil water status took place at horizontal distances of more than 250 mm from the irrigation lateral and at depths greater than 300 mm, and that this is the region in which irrigations should be concentrated for this production and management system. 247 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Israel; Zea mays; Fertirrigation; Phosphorus fertilizers; Trickle irrigation; Subsurface irrigation; Surface irrigation; Crop yield; Ears (plant); Yield components; Soil solution; Nutrient removal by plants; Dry matter accumulation Abstract: High-frequency phosphorus fertigation may increase the time-average P concentration in the soil solution above that expected from P solubility considerations. Where P is a yield- limiting factor, frequent P fertigation may increase yield by stimulating P-uptake by the roots. A field experiment was conducted on a loessial soil (Haploxeralf) high in NaHCO3-extractable P (0.8 mmol kg-1 soil) to test the hypothesis that subsurface placement of emitters (SSR) is more effective in stimulating P uptake than surface placement (SR). Four concentrations of P in the water (Cp), 0.04, 0.16, 0.64, and 1.29 mol P m-3, were applied via surface or subsurface emitters to sweet corn [Zea mays (L.) Jubilee]. Marketable ear yield increased with Cp, yielding 22.9, 24.3, 24.9 and 28.9 t ha-1, respectively. Yield was higher for tricklers placed 30 cm below soil surface (25.2 t ha-1) than on the surface (23.5 t ha-1). Elevated Cp increased the soil solution P concentration, thereby increasing total P uptake and total dry matter production by the plants. Deep trickler placement significantly increased the fraction of total dry matter allocated to the ears, which resulted in higher marketable yield. Subsurface irrigation also reduced weed growth due to the dry top soil during the experiment. 268 NAL Call. No.: FICHE S-72 Sweet pepper response to drip, microsprinkler, and furrow irrigation.

Language: English Descriptors: Gossypium hirsutum; Sewage effluent; Application to land; Trickle irrigation; Soil fertility; Soil salinity; Nitrogen; Nitrates; Semiarid Zones Abstract: The objectives of this field study, conducted in 1984 through 1986, were to assess the long-term effects of applying treated municipal effluent (ECw = 2.6 dS m-1. SAR = 12.0) by trickle irrigation on soil N fertility, soil salinity, and yield of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Sindos 1980) under semiarid conditions. Secondary treated effluent was compared with borehole water. Both waters were supplemented with 0, 30, 60, and 90 mg N L-1. The N concentration in the effluent was about 30 mg L-1 during the 3 yr of experimentation. The residual soil NO3-N and the NO3-N concentrations in laminae and petioles were in general greater in the effluent-irrigated crops. With both waters, excessive salt buildup occurred at the periphery of the wetting front. Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) was reduced beneath the dripper in the surface 15 and 30 cm depth with borehole water and effluent, respectively, but below this depth the reverse occurred. Under the conditions of soil type, climate, and borehole water and effluent qualities used during this experiment, effluent was generally superior to borehole water, particularly at the lower N levels in increasing yields. The seedcotton yield obtained in the first season was significantly greater in the effluent irrigated treatments supplemented with N up to 60 mg L-1; in 1985 and 1986seasons, yield with treated effluent was significantly higher in comparison with borehole water when additional N of 30 mg L-1 was applied. It can be concluded that municipal-treated effluent containing 30 mg N L-1 can be used effectively by trickle irrigation systems as a source of irrigation water and N, and with appropriate N and water management, ecological hazards due in NO3-N are minimized, and salinity and sodicity are maintained at acceptable levels for cotton. 289 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Lycopersicon esculentum; Trickle irrigation; Irrigation scheduling; Irrigation requirements; Fertirrigation; Split dressings; Nitrogen fertilizers; Potassium fertilizers; Crop yield; Sandy loam soils Abstract: Tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were grown during two seasons at two locations on fine sands and fine sandy loam soils to study the influence of water quantity, frequency of water application, and timing of N and K application for polyethylene-mulched, trickle-irrigated fresh-market tomatoes. Water quantities were 0.50 and 1.0 times pan evaporation applied one or three times daily. Nitrogen and K were applied 100% preplant or 40% applied preplant and 60% applied with trickle irrigation. Higher tomato leaf tissue N and K concentrations in one of the two seasons and higher fruit yields were obtained with 0.5 than with 1.0 time pan water evaporation on a fine sand at Gainesville, Fla. On a fine sandy loam soil at Quincy, fruit yields were higher in a relatively dry season with the higher water quantity and not influenced by the water quantity applied in the second relatively wet season. The number of daily water applications (one vs. three) at both locations had no effect on N and K uptake or fruit yields. Time of N and K applications had no effect on early yields, but total yields were higher with split than all preplant-applied N and K on the fine sandy soil. Split applications of fertilizer resulted in greater yields of extra-large fruit at mid-season and of extra large fruit at late harvest than all preplant-applied fertilizer. On the fine sandy loam soil, time of fertilizer application had no effect on yield. 317 NAL Call. No.: 80 AC82 Water relations and nutritional level of leaves and fruits of apple.

Language: English Descriptors: Citrus paradisi; Sprinkler irrigation; Overhead irrigation; Trickle irrigation; Leaf water potential; Stomatal resistance; Soil water content; Stomatal movement; Water stress Abstract: Water relations responses of 21-year-old grapefruit trees (Citrus paradisi Macf.) irrigated by three types of irrigation systems were compared. Drip, undertree microsprinkler, and overhead sprinkler with application levels of 150 and 450 mm of water per year were compared. Leaf water potential, stomatal conductance, and soil water status were measured under field conditions on a deep, well-drained sandy soil in central Florida. In the early part of a dry spring period, there were no differences in midday or early morning leaf water potential, but, by the end of this period, significant differences in leaf water potential were found among all three irrigation treatments. Highest leaf water potential and stomatal conductance values were maintained in the overhead sprinkler blocks. No midday stomatal closure was observed under the conditions of this study. Relationships among diurnal leaf water potentials, vapor pressure deficits, and stomatal conductance showed hysteresis; this affected the correlations among these factors. Greater water stress occurred in trees irrigated with drip than in trees irrigated with overhead sprinkler systems, but responses to microsprinklers were generally intermediate between the overhead sprinkler and the drip treatments. In an area with high rainfall and sandy soils, increased irrigation coverage can reduce leaf water stress. 320 NAL Call. No.: FICHE S-72 Water stress effects of trickle irrigated cotton.

Language: English Descriptors: Gossypium hirsutum; Root systems; Water transfer; Soil water potential; Xylem water potential; Soil water balance; Irrigation requirements; Irrigation scheduling; Computer simulation Abstract: Several studies have shown that water can move through plant root systems from wet to dry soil during periods of low evaporative demand. It has been suggested that such movement could be important in alternate furrow or drip irrigation systems, where water is applied in a discrete or nonuniform manner. This study was undertaken to examine this question, using a physical experiment and computer simulation. A growth chamber experiment was conducted with three rows of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) plants. The outer row plants were grown over vertical barriers such that half of their root systems shared a volume of soil with the center row plants, while the other half was hydraulically isolated in separate soil compartments. The center compartment was allowed to dry, while the outer compartments were watered daily. Soil moisture was measured throughout all compartments twice daily by gamma densitometry. When the potential gradient between center and outer compartments reached 1.0 MPa, the gamma readings showed overnight movement of water from wet to dry soil that could only have taken place through the root systems of the outer row plants. The overnight transfer of water, while significant, was not sufficient to fully supply the daytime transpiration demand of the unirrigated center row plants. It was also less than that predicted by computer simulation, unless the latter reflected the inability of the xylem water potential of cotton plants to equilibrate with soil water potential during periods of low evaporative demand. Regardless, the results suggest that water transfer by root systems should not be excluded in simulations of water movement in the soil-plant- atmosphere system. 323 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Arizona; Gossypium hirsutum; Fruiting; Water use efficiency; Trickle irrigation; Irrigation scheduling; Arid climate; Leaf water potential; Water uptake; Root hydraulic conductivity; Stomatal resistance; Transpiration Abstract: Yield of irrigated cotton (gossypium hirsutum L.) increases as the interval between water applications is decreased, even if the total amount of water applied is unchanged. Experiments were undertaken to compare season-long water relations of high- frequency drip-irrigated cotton (1- to 2-d intervals) to cotton irrigated at approximately 2-wk intervals. The crop was grown at two locations in central Arizona on a Mohall sandy loam (fine- loamy, mixed, hyperthermic Typic Haplargid) and an Avondale clay loam (fine-loamy, mixed, hyperthermic Typic Torrifluvent) soils. In 2-yr trials at each location, irrigation frequency had inconsistent effects on midday leaf water potential during vegetative growth. When the crop developed a heavy fruit load, however, leaf water potential of plants on the longer cycles was much lower than that of drip-irrigated plants, even after irrigation when ample soil moisture should have been available. Plant hydraulic conductances, estimated from regressions of single-leaf transpiration rate against leaf water potential, were high in both treatments early in the season. Hydraulic conductance decreased greatly during fruiting in plants on long irrigation cycles but less so in drip-irrigated plants. Late in the season, after fruit maturation and during plant regrowth, conductances were again high and similar in the two treatments. The results imply that during heavy fruiting, mild water stress associated with long irrigation cycles triggers deterioration of the root system that is very slow to be reversed. High-frequency drip irrigation, by preventing cyclical stress, apparently minimized this deterioration during fruit filling. 324 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Droplet studies; Erosion; Sandy loam soils; Sprinkler irrigation; Soil amendments; Infiltration Abstract: The impact energy of water droplets from rain or overhead sprinklers can cause a seal to form at the soil surface. This constitutes a severe problem in agricultural lands in the arid and semiarid regions. Spreading a soil conditioner on the surface of the soil and providing a constant supply of electrolytes may prevent seal formation. The effect of droplet impact energy and water quality on infiltration and erosion was studied, using a tank drip-type rain simulator, in a sandy loam soil (Typic Rhodoxeralf) treated with an anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) and phosphogypsum (PG). Three kinetic energies (KE) of 3-mm diameter drops were obtained by varying their falling heights. The two qualities of water were distilled water (DW) and tap water (TW), to simulate rain and irrigation water, respectively. Increasing the impact energy reduced the infiltration rate (IR), cumulative infiltration (rain intake), and soil erosion in all treatments. Addition of PAM in the presence of electrolytes (either PG or TW) increased both final IR and cumulative infiltration by 7- to 8-fold compared with the control, and was much more effective than PAM, PG, or TW alone. The PAM+ electrolyte treatments decreased soil erosion by more than one order of magnitude compared with the control. 325 NAL Call. No.:SB299.P3D4 Watering beds with porous tubing. Lomax, K.M.

Language: English Descriptors: California; Lycopersicon esculentum; Processing; Cultivars; Trickle irrigation; Irrigation scheduling; Yield response functions; Fruit; Quality; Characteristics; Water use efficiency; Furrow irrigation Abstract: Field studies were conducted on a Typic Xerorthents Entiosols soil (Hanford sandy loam) to determine the response of two cultivars of processing tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) to trickle irrigation applied at three percentages of evapotranspiration (ET) to either the top of the plant row or between the beds using a traveling irrigation system. Irrigation was terminated when fruits were either 30% or 70% red 14 or 7 days before harvest). Yields of red tomatoes and total tomatoes increased with increasing trickle irrigation water. The concentrations of soluble solids (SSC) and total solids (TS) and pH decreased with increasing trickle irrigation rates, while color, fruit size, and acidity increased, as did the yield of SSC and TS per hectare. Placement of trickle irrigation on the plant row was more favorable than placement in the furrow between the beds for yield and quality characteristics. Trickle irrigation to 70% ET terminated 7 days before harvest produced responses similar to conventional furrow irrigation. Although statistically these treatments could not he compared directly to conventional furrow, all traveling trickle irrigation rates were superior in water use efficiency to that of the conventional furrow irrigation. Trickle irrigation rates of 35% ET, 70% ET, and 105% ET did not differ in water use efficiency.

Language: English Descriptors: Nebraska; Meadows; Grazing lands; Subsurface irrigation; Nitrogen fertilizers; Phosphorus fertilizers; Sulfur fertilizers; Fertilizer application; Crop yield; Dry matter accumulation; Nitrogen uptake; Nitrogen recovery; Crop quality; Crude protein; In vitro digestibility Abstract: Production practices that increase hay yields are important for beef cattle producers in the Nebraska Sandhills. This study evaluated the responses of subirrigated meadow vegetation to fertilization with N, P, and S over a 4-yr period. A factorial array of four levels of N (0, 45, 90 and 135 kg ha-1), two levels of P (0 and 20 kg ha-1) and two levels of S (0 and 22 kg ha-1) were applied each year to the same plots, arranged in a randomized complete block design. Average dry matter yields were increased by N, P, and S. There were no fertilizer interaction effects. Yields increased quadratically as N levels increased. For each 45 kg increment of N applied from 0 to 135 kg ha-1, dry matter yield (pooled over P and S) increased 1002, 703, and 402 kg ha-1, respectively. Main effects of P and S increased dry matter yields by 4662 and 577 kg ha-1, respectively. Nitrogen uptake was increased linearly by fertilization with N, P, and S. Forage N use efficiency decreased as N fertilizer rates increased. Crude protein (CP) declined quadratically as N rates increased, but the maximum change was less than 10 g kg-1. In vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) declined linearly as N rates increased. Sulfur and P did not affect either CP or IVDMD. Yield responses were sufficient to justify the use of N, P, and S to increase subirrigated meadow production. Less of forage quality (CP and IVDMD) was not sufficient to nullify this conclusion. 334 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Florida; Brassica oleracea var. italica; Lycopersicon esculentum; Cucurbita pepo; Rotations; Polyethylene film; Mulching; Yield response functions; Trickle irrigation; Overhead irrigation; Nitrogen fertilizers; Potassium fertilizers; Sandy soils Abstract: Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica), followed by tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) or squash (Cucurbita pepo L. var. melopepo), and then broccoli were produced in succession re-using the same polyethylene-mulched beds at two locations with different soil types. First-crop broccoli yield was earlier and greater with drip than with overhead irrigation and increased as N- K rate increased from 135-202 to 270-404 kg.ha-1. On a fine sandy soil, yields of second and third crops produced with residual or concurrent fertilization increased with an increase in N-K rate. On a loamy fine sandy soil, yields also increased as the rate of residual N-K increased; yields of second and third crops did not respond to rate of concurrently applied N-K, but were higher with concurrent than with residual fertilization, except total tomato yields were similar with either application time. With drip irrigation and concurrent weekly fertigation, yields equalled or exceeded those obtained with preplant fertilization and overhead irrigation. 335 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Lycopersicon esculentum; Yield response functions; Trickle irrigation; Nitrogen fertilizers; Potassium fertilizers; Fertirrigation; Leaves; Shoots; Nutrient contents of plants Abstract: Tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were grown on polyethylene-mulched beds of an Arredondo fine sand during two seasons to evaluate the effects of trickle-applied N and/or K, percentages of trickle-applied N and K (50%, 75%, and 100%), and schedules of N and K application on fruit yield, and leaf and shoot N and K concentrations. The daily irrigation requirement, calculated at 47% of the water evaporated from a U.S. Weather Service Class A pan (Epan), was met by the application of 4.6 mm to 7.2 mm water/day. Fertilizer was injected weekly in a variable (2% to 12.5% of the total amount weekly) or constant (8.3% of the total amount weekly) schedule during the first 12 weeks of each season. Trickle-applied nutrients and trickle-applied percentage of nutrients interacted in their effects on early, midseason, and total marketable fruit yields. When N + K and N were trickle- applied, the mean early total marketable fruit yield decreased linearly from 25.3 t.ha-1 to 16.3 t.ha-1 as the trickle-applied percentage of nutrients increased from 50% to 100%; but when K was trickle-applied (100% preplant-applied N), yields were not affected by the trickle-applied percentage (mean 26.3 t.ha-1). The weekly schedule of N and K injection had no effect on fruit yield or other characteristics. Higher leaf N and K concentrations early in the season were obtained when the respective nutrient was 50% to 100% preplant-applied than when the respective nutrient was 75% to 100% trickle-applied; but late in the season, higher concentrations were obtained when the respective nutrient was trickle-applied. Higher yields, however, were associated with higher early season leaf N concentrations rather than with higher late-season leaf N or K concentrations.
