Nutrient dynamics from surface‐applied organic matter amendments on no‐till orchard soil

Soil Use and Management, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 649-662, January 2022., 2022
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 ...

Exploration of Water‐Saving and High‐Yield Irrigation Model for Tomato under Microsprinkler Irrigation with Plastic Film in a Greenhouse Based on Spatial Analysis

Journal of Sensors, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The purpose of this study was to analyse the suitability of the frequency and amount of microsprinkler irrigation under plastic film technology (MSPF) in a greenhouse. This study was aimed at determining the effects of different irrigation frequency and irrigation amount of the MSPF on the quality, yield (Y), and water use efficiency (WUE) of tomato ...

Prospects of Hydrogels in Agriculture for Enhancing Crop and Water Productivity under Water Deficit Condition

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
In arid and semiarid regions and under rainfed conditions, water availability is one of the principal ecological constraints that hinder agriculture’s sustainability. The super absorbent polymer (agricultural) is water‐absorbing and is cross‐linked to absorb aqueous solutions through bonding with water molecules.

Split application of nutrients improve growth and yield of Huanglongbing‐affected citrus trees

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 85, Issue 6, Page 2040-2053, November/December 2021., 2021
Abstract Citrus production in Florida declined steadily because of Huanglongbing (i.e., HLB, citrus greening) caused by the bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. The objectives of the study were to determine whether leaf tissue nutrient concentration, tree growth, fruit yield, and juice content were improved with split applications of essential ...

Is Food Irrigated with Oilfield‐Produced Water in the California Central Valley Safe to Eat? A Probabilistic Human Health Risk Assessment Evaluating Trace Metals Exposure

Risk Analysis, Volume 41, Issue 8, Page 1463-1477, August 2021., 2021
Abstract Reuse of oilfield‐produced water (OPW) for crop irrigation has the potential to make a critical difference in the water budgets of highly productive but drought‐stressed agricultural watersheds. This is the first peer‐reviewed study to evaluate how trace metals in OPW used to irrigate California crops may affect human health.

Effects of Micropore Group Spacing and Irrigation Amount on Soil Respiration and Yield of Tomato with Microsprinkler Irrigation under Plastic Film in Greenhouse

Journal of Sensors, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Microsprinkler irrigation under a plastic film in the greenhouse (MSPF) is a water‐saving way which adopts the porous discharge form of a pipe under the plastic film. The effects of different micropore group spacings (L1:30 cm, L2: 50 cm) and irrigation amounts [I1: 0.7 Epan; I2: 1.0 Epan; and I3: 1.2 Epan (Epan is the diameter of 20 cm standard pan ...
