Cropping Pattern Modifications Change Water Resource Demands in the Beijing Metropolitan Area
Correlation between Water Deficiency, Yield Components and Crop Productivity of Banana
Water is a limited factor that significantly influence productivity of banana and is needed to ensure optimum yield. Currently, Grand Nain is becoming a popular banana cultivar in Sudan, but the…
Reducing Agricultural Water Footprints at the Farm Scale: A Case Study in the Beijing Region
Beijing is one of the most water-stressed regions in the world. Reducing agricultural water use has long been the basis of local policy for sustainable water use. In this article, the potential to…
Framework for Climate Change Adaptation of Agriculture and Forestry in Mediterranean Climate Regions
Planning the adaptation of agriculture and forestry landscapes to climate change remains challenging due to the need for integrating substantial amounts of information. This information ranges from…

Irrigation best management practices for potato
Application of the principle of best management practices (BMPs) for potato irrigation maximizes economic use of resources while minimizing environmental disturbances. Potato is a shallow-rooted crop…
Plant Population and Nitrogen Fertilization for Subsurface Drip-irrigated Onion
Onion (Allium cepa L.) production in the Treasure Valley of eastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho has been based on furrow irrigation with 318 kg·ha -1 N fertilizer and average yields of 70 Mg·ha -1…
Nitrogen fertilizer requirements of potatoes using carefully scheduled sprinkler irrigation
TLDR
The N rates maximizing tuber yield in this study were lower than the rates recommended in the university fertilizer guides, which resulted in darker frying tubers in 1992 and 1993.
Sugarbeet Nitrogen Uptake and Performance Following Heavily Fertilized Onion
Crop over-fertilization has economic and environmental consequences. Sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) N fertilizer requirements could be lower than expected when planted after shallow rooted onion…
Soil Water Tension, a Powerful Measurement for Productivity and Stewardship
TLDR
Known SWT criteria for irrigation scheduling that vary from 2 to 800 kPa depending on the crop species, plant product to be optimized, environmental conditions, and irrigation system are discussed.
Mechanical straw mulching of irrigation furrows : Soil erosion and nutrient losses
There is widespread concern about loss of sediments, NO 3 - , and phosphate into surface water from irrigated farmlands. We studied the effects of 900 kg ha -1 wheat (Triticum spp.) straw,…
Onion Yield and Quality Affected by Soil Water Potential as Irrigation Threshold
TLDR
Onion (Allium cepa L., 'Great Scott') was grown on silt loam soils and submitted to four irrigation thresholds and maximized by a calculated threshold of -27 kPa due to a substantial increase of decomposition during storage with increasing threshold.
Deficit irrigation for optimum alfalfa seed yield and quality
TLDR
The results suggest that alfalfa seed production can be optimized with 50% ETc replacement using drip irrigation, and seed quality met or exceeded the minimum certification standard of 85% viable seed each year.
Improving Onion Yield and Market Grade by Mechanical Straw Application to Irrigation Furrows
TLDR
This study studied the effects of 560 to 800 lb/acre (630 to 900 kg·ha–1) wheat straw mechanically applied to the bottom of irrigation furrows on yield and bulb size of sweet Spanish onions in commercial onion consuming.
Reducing DCPA losses in furrow irrigation by herbicide banding and straw mulching
There are concerns about residues of DCPA (dimethyl 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) and its two acid metabolites in surface runoff from furrow-irrigated croplands. We studied the…
