Nitrogen (N) management is a key component to maintaining high productivity of northern highbush blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) and nitrogen often supplied by applying ammonium-based fertilizers. It can also be through mineralization soil organic matter (SOM), although the amount released SOM difficult predict not always considered in development implementation N fertility programs. Laboratory field experiments were conducted estimate timing magnitude net from throughout growing...
Agricultural producers grapple with low farm yields and declining ecosystem services within their landscapes. In several instances, agricultural production systems may be considered largely unsustainable in socioeconomic ecological (resource conservation use impact on nature) terms. Novel technological management options that can serve as vehicles to promote the provision of multiple benefits, including improvement smallholder livelihoods, are needed. We call for a paradigm shift allow...
Agricultural N fertilization is the dominant driver of increasing atmospheric nitrous oxide (NO) concentrations over past half-century, yet there considerable uncertainty in estimates NO emissions from agriculture. Such are typically based on amount applied and a fertilizer-induced emission factor (EF), which calculated as difference between fertilized plot zero-N control divided by applied. A EF 1% currently recognized Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) several studies analyzing...
Onion bacterial diseases pose a serious economic risk to growers as they can lead catastrophic crop losses. Moisture in the plant canopy plays critical role onion disease development by dispersing pathogens onto plants (e.g., splashing water) and keeping conditions conducive for growth. For this reason, irrigation management be promising avenue controlling regions where is used widely, particularly overhead irrigation. This study investigated effects of in-season frequency timing final on...
Abstract Controlled drainage and subirrigation (CDSI) is an important water management strategy in many regions, but the conditions under which CDSI most likely to increase crop yield soil moisture are not fully understood. A meta‐analysis, consisting of 154 pairwise observations from replicated randomized trials 30 peer‐reviewed primary research articles on (6 controlled drainage, 24 CDSI, analyzed together due data scarcity), was conducted study responses investigate how type, texture,...
Irrigation water productivity is a priority for sustainable orchard management as resources become more limiting. This study evaluated reduced irrigation (RI) strategy cider apple ( Malus domestica Borkh.) production in 2019 and 2020 northwestern Washington, which has Mediterranean climate averages 14.1 cm of precipitation from June to September. RI was on three cultivars, Dabinett, Porter’s Perfection, Golden Russet, their third fourth leaf. Stem potential (stem ψ) measured weekly...
Although irrigation scheduling has been studied for diverse vegetable crops, much less attention given to the seed crops on which these production systems rely. In spinach, needs are likely vary greatly between and leaf production, this leaves producers without adequate resources make decisions. Our research sought fill gap by evaluating two alternative strategies (a publicly available decision-support tool soil moisture sensors) four thresholds their impacts vegetative growth, marketable...
