1. Variable Rate N and P Management for High-value Vegetable Cropping Systems

The Lower Colorado River Region (LCRR) of Arizona and California and their environs produce more than 90% of the nation’s cool season vegetables during the fall-winter-spring period. Large amounts of N and P fertilizers are currently utilized for maximum yield and quality.  Phosphorus fertilizers are applied pre-plant based on a soil test of a composite field sample.  Nitrogen is applied by side-dress based on a plant midrib or petiole N analysis, or soil nitrate-N test, from a...

2. Optimizing Fertigation for High Value Crops

In irrigated farming systems, soluble and mobile fertilizers, such as sources of nitrogen, are often applied to crops through fertigation. Fertigation presents both opportunities and challenges. Potential opportunities include better synchronization of nutrient availability with crop demand through the growing season and potential energy savings. Challenges include the need for additional investment on infrastructure for nutrient injection into the irrigation conveyance and distribution system,... C.A. Sanchez, D. Zerihun
