Supplementary irrigation at container nursery

Modelling Evapotranspiration of Container Crops for Irrigation Scheduling

Effect of Supplementary Irrigation at Different Growth Stages on the Yield and Water Productivity of Autumn Rapeseed Cultivar Rohan (Khorramabad)

In areas with high rainfall distribution, proper irrigation management, including complementary irrigation, is one of the effective strategies to increase crop production. In order to investigate the effect of supplementary irrigation in different growth stages on the yield and water productivity of Autumn rapeseed, an experiment in the form of a complete randomized block design with five irrig...

Quay Cranes and Yard Trucks Scheduling Problem at Container Terminals

A bi-objective mathematical model is developed to simultaneously consider the quay crane and yard truck scheduling problems at container terminals. Main real-world assumptions, such as quay cranes with non-crossing constraints, quay cranes’ safety margins and precedence constraints are considered in this model. This integrated approach leads to better efficiency and productivity at container te...

O N reduces water use , nitrogen loss , and moss growth in a container nursery

verhead irrigation is the most common form of irrigation in forest and conservation nurseries (Landis and others 1989) and in greenhouse production overall (Leskovar 1998). Overhead irrigation systems are generally less expensive to install, and have the advantage of preventing the accumulation of fertilizer salts that can be detrimental to plant growth (Argo and Biernbaum 1995). A significant ...

Nursery response of container Pinus palustris seedlings to nitrogen supply and subsequent effects on outplanting performance

Container longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) seedlings often survive and grow better after outplanting than bareroot seedlings. Because of this, most longleaf pine are now produced in containers. Little is known about nursery fertilization effects on the quality of container longleaf pine seedlings and how that influences outplanting performance. We compared various fertilization rates (0.5, 1, 2,...
