Microsprinkler Irrigation for Cold Protection of Florida Citrus
Millions of boxes of fruit and thousands of acres of citrus trees have been lost in freezes and frosts. Oranges are usually damaged when the fruit are exposed to temperatures of 28°F or lower for 4 hours or more.

Manganese adsorption, availability, and uptake in citrus under microsprinkler irrigation [PDF]
Manganese deficiencies have been observed in shallow soils with high water tables and in well‐drained sandy soils of Florida. This study investigated Mn leaf uptake in citrus trees on a Florida sandy soil through modified Mn fertilization methods and ...

EVAPOTRANSPIRATION OF LONG-DAY ONION, IRRIGATED BY MICROSPRINKLERS [PDF]
Investigations were made on the seasonal water requirements of annual onion cv. Santana grown under optimal schedule of irrigation and water stress. Three variants with different irrigation rates (1.00 IR, 0.75 IR and 0.50 IR) were studied.

Abstract One possible approach for improving the nitrogen (N)‐use efficiency of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) pastures and reducing environmental N losses is to select cultivars or incorporate alternative pasture species with lower shoot N concentrations. Viability of this strategy depends on herbage production not being unduly compromised.

Irrigation shifts toward sprinklers, drip and microsprinklers [PDF]
From 1972 to 1995, gravity irrigation (flood, furrow and so on) has decreased by about 20% on an acreage basis, while sprinkler irrigation has increased by about 8% and microirrigation, including drip and microsprinklers, has increased by about 12%. These statewide estimates exclude rice acreage and are based on surveys commissioned by the California ...

Nutrient dynamics from surface‐applied organic matter amendments on no‐till orchard soil
Abstract Advancing conservation agriculture depends on understanding nutrient dynamics of organic matter amendments (OMA) on no‐till soil. This field incubation study compared surface‐applied composted dairy manure (CM), green waste compost (GWC) and an unamended control from March to September in 2015 and 2016 using a RCBD in a California almond ...
