Effect of liquid cattle manure and inorganic fertilizers on tomato yield and water use in a hydroponic system
|
The use of liquid manure as a source of nutrients and water in agricultural production decreases environmental pollution and leads to economic savings for farmers. We compared the use of liquid cattle manure extract (LCME) and chemical fertilizer in nutrient solution, plus their respective water...

Fertilizer Management for Citrus Orchards
|
The Law of the Minimum Nutrient" means that in citrus trees, as in other crops, the growth of the plant is limited by the nutrient element present in the smallest quantity, even if all other nutrients are present in adequate amounts. It is of the utmost importance in citrus production to know...

Fruit Phosphorous and Nitrogen Deficiencies Affect ‘Grand Pearl’ Nectarine Flesh Browning
|
Fruit flesh browning (FB) is a major component of cold storage disorders that limits fresh and fresh cut fruit consumption. Using fertigation, nutrient deficiencies were imposed on ‘Grand Pearl’ nectarines (Prunus persica var. nectarina) grown in sand culture for 8 years...

Growth, Yield and Nutrient Concentrations of Tomato as Affected by Soil Textures and Nitrogen
|
Sand, loam and clay are three main textural classes of soil. However, they differ in their nutrient and water holding capacities. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine the effect of five rates of N fertilizer (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 kg N ha-1) grown in 3 different textural...

Soil Intake Rates and Application Rates in Sprinkler-Irrigated Orchards
|
If the sprinkler application rate is greater that the soil’s infiltration (intake) rate, water will pond on the soil surface and then run off. Water from sprinklers should infiltrate where it lands on the soil in order to minimize runoff and maintain the application uniformity of the...

Response of Irish Potato (Solanum tuberosum) to the Application of Potassium at Acidic Soils of Chencha, Southern Ethiopia
|
An experiment was conducted at at acidic soil of Chencha, Southern Ethiopia to investigate the effect of different levels of potassium (K) fertilizer on the tuber yield of potato for two years (2007-2008). The treatments were 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270 and 300 kg ha-1 K. Potato...

Soil Management for Citrus Orchards
|
Soil plays the role of a growing medium for perennial, deep-rooted citrus trees. It provides not only mechanical support for the tree, but also air, water and all the required nutrients for the roots. Soil properties control the availability of soil nutrients and the nutrient uptake by roots. They...
