Subsurface Drip Irrigation Project
An ambitious subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) project covering eight acres was initiated and installed in 2007. It is a permanent installation with plastic drip lines buried 18 in. deep and spaced 60 in. apart in a field divided into 12 operating zones. The project was undertaken with the following objectives: 1. Demonstrate SDI installation, equipment,

Abstract Knowing the most yield‐limiting soil nutrient is crucial for closing the yield gap in all crop production systems. The proper supply of balanced nutrients is essential for maximizing the production of onions and tomatoes. The study was conducted to determine the response of onion and tomato to the omission of different nutrients in their ...

Review of two decades of progress in the development of successful drip irrigation for onions. [PDF]
The irrigation needs of long day onion (Allium cepa) have been extensively studied at Ontario, Oregon, over the past 22 years. Drip irrigation has compared favorably with furrow and sprinkler irrigation systems. Onions were found to have very narrow soil

Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Hop Optimal Irrigation Trial [PDF]
Hops reportedly use about 610 to 715 mm (24 to 28 inches) of water per year (Evans 2003). Rainfall can contribute to this total, however, due to climatic variability, it is important that hops are irrigated regularly to combat moisture stress.

Ozonated irrigation in vineyards: limited effects on soil bacterial and fungal microbiota
Irrigation with ozonated water caused slight changes in bacterial composition but did not significantly affect microbial diversity, beneficial microbes (plant growth‐promoting bacteria, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), or grapevine trunk disease‐related pathogens.
