Plant analysis is a very promising diagnostic tool for assessment of crop nitrogen (N) requirements in perspectives of cost effective and environment friendly agriculture. Diagnosing N nutritional status of rice crop through plant analysis will give insights into optimizing N requirements of future crops. The present study was aimed to develop a new methodology for determining the critical nitr...

Reduced water availability and environmental pollution caused by nitrogen (N) losses have increased the need for rational management of irrigation and N fertilization in horticultural systems. Decision support systems (DSS) could be powerful tools to assist farmers to improve irrigation and N fertilization efficiency. Currently, fertilization by drip irrigation system (fertigation) is used for ...

for determining sugar beet water requirements, this work was conducted at the  agricultural research station of torog in mashhad for 3 years. crop water requirement was measured by a drainage type lysimeter with dimension of 2*2*1 m. in order to reduce side effects, an area about 1600 m2 around the lysimeter (as a guard) was cultivated with sugar beet. soil water content was measured by tensiom...
