and as the title of the series implies, are not indepth exhaustive
bibliographies on any given subject. However, the citations are a
substantial resource for recent investigations on a given topic.
They also serve the purpose of bringing the literature of
agriculture to the interested user who, in many cases, could not
access it by any other means. The bibliographies are derived from
computerized on-line searches of the AGRICOLA data base.
Timeliness of topic and evidence of extensive interest are the
selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding these is
available upon request from the author/searcher.
Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for distribution
without prior approval. The inclusion or omission of a particular

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.

Abstract: A numerical solution for predicting soil water content
distributions during trickle irrigation on stratified and
anisotropic soils was compared with data from a field experiment
carried out on a loamy clay soil using 24 field plots irrigated at
different rates and frequencies. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: 'Tifbluc' and 'Delite' rabbiteye blueberry (Vaccinium
ashei Reade) plants were grown for 4 years with or without mulch,
with cultivated or sodded row middles, and under various irrigation
treatments [one drip emitter at the base of the plant, two drip
emitters 46 cm on either side of the plant, or a 40 degrees or 360
degrees low-volume spray emitter (LVSE) place midway between
plants]. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Abstract: Growth chamber evaluations of soil from an orchard
replant site showed severe stunting of 'Northern Spy' apple (Malus
domestica Borkh.) seedlings grown in field soil (FS) compared with
pasteurized soil (PS) from the same site. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

water potential; Xylem water potential; Soil water balance;

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.

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.

Descriptors: Droplet studies; Erosion; Sandy loam soils; Sprinkler

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.

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. Chemical names used: 2(a-naphthoxy)- N,N-
diethyl propionamide (napropamide); S-propyl butylethiocarbamate
pebulate).

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.

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.

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.
