“…This is confirmed by previous studies showing that split application of N can provide adequate N to plants during silking to maturity (Peng et al, 1996;Matson et al, 1998;Meng et al, 2012b). For conventional fertilization, a large portion of excess N fertilizer probably leached deeper into the soil profile as a result of the rapid downward movement of water under flood irrigation, as has been shown in previous studies (Sharma, 2007;Raina et al, 2013). Nitrogen accumulation under drip fertigation from V12 to R1 and after silking was greater than that under conventional fertilization.…”

“…After silking, greater N for maize N uptake was supplied via drip fertigation compared with conventional fertilization because N split-applied to closely match N uptake by maize. For conventional fertilization, a large portion of excess N fertilizer probably leached deeper into the soil profile as a result of the rapid downward movement of water under flood irrigation, as has been shown in previous studies (Sharma, 2007;Raina et al, 2013).

Conventional fertilization with most N applied before or during early maize (Zea mays L.) growth stages can negatively affect production if soil N is insufficient after silking. Here, drip irrigation with a split application of N (drip fertigation) was evaluated to determine whether the effect on yield and N use efficiency (NUE) differs with cropping practice. Compared with conventional fertilization, drip fertigation increased yield by 13 and 14% at a low planting density under a low N rate (L) and by 15% at a high planting density under a high N rate (H) in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Yield increases under drip fertigation were attributed to 18 and 17% increases in postsilking dry matter (DM) accumulation under L, and 12 and 10% increases in presilking DM accumulation, and 17 and 16% increases in postsilking DM accumulation under H in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Increased postsilking N accumulation under drip fertigation, promoted by greater root length and soil mineral N after silking, maintained increased leaf area index (LAI) and DM accumulation rate to improve postsilking DM accumulation under L. Greater N accumulation under drip fertigation from the 12‐leaf stage to silking and after silking promoted greater LAI and DM accumulation rate to increase pre‐ and postsilking DM accumulation under H. Because of greater grain yield and N uptake and less water consumption, drip irrigation improved NUE and irrigation water use efficiency. Drip fertigation can effectively improving maize grain yield and NUE resulting from improved DM accumulation with increased early‐season N uptake.

“…Lower horizons are not so strongly leached and, in fact, in dryer areas, they may accumulate calcium and other materials removed from the upper soil (Brady and Weil, 2008). Other soil parameters showed a gradual decline with increasing depth of sampling, as also substantiated by Jobbagy and Jackson (2001) and Raina et al (2013), who found topsoil concentrations of all nutrients were higher than in the lower soil profiles, where the elements were scarcer.…”

The present study was conducted at Palli Siksha Bhavana (Institute of Agriculture), Visva-Bharati, West Bengal, India, during 2019-20 to evaluate the different fractions of boron (B) along depth and their relationship to some soil properties in lateritic soils of West Bengal, India. The sequential B fractionation scheme was followed to estimate B fractions in the studied soils. It was found that most of the soils fall under the sandy clay loam and clay loam soil textural categories. The soil pH was either categorized as extremely acidic or slightly acidic in nature and the range of low to medium organic carbon content was present. The studied soils’ CEC varied between 5.90 to 26.64 [C mol (P+) kg-1]. In the B fractionation study, it was revealed that, for uptake of plants, the readily soluble boron (Rs-B) is the most easily accessible fraction among all other fractions, and the residual boron (Res-B) fraction accounts for the major portion of total soil boron (Tot-B). Different soil properties of the study area greatly influenced the B fractions along soil depths. The contribution of different B fractions towards total soil B (Tot-B) B followed the order: residual boron (Res-B) >> oxide-bound boron (Oxd-B) > organically bound boron (Org-B) > specifically adsorbed boron (Sad-B) > readily soluble boron (Rs-B). The current study will be helpful for adopting the fertilizer management practices of boron-deficient lateritic soils (Alfisols).

“…Currently, studies on the effect of mulching on soil moisture and temperature in orchards are primarily conducted on peach, pear, apple, and other types of orchards [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], while studies on jujube orchards are rarely reported. In particular, there are still insufficient studies on the in-situ mulching and recycling of fruit tree pruning branches.…”

The influence of different mulching measures on soil moisture, soil temperature, and crop growth was investigated during the jujube growing season in rain-fed jujube orchards using micro-plot experiments. The mulching treatments included clean tillage (CT, control treatment), jujube branches mulching (JBM), and white clover planting (WCP). The results revealed that: (1) The average soil moisture content of JBM was greater than that of CT by 3.76% and 2.34%, respectively, during the 2013 and 2014 jujube growth periods, and its soil water deficit was minimal in each soil layer from 0 to 70 cm. WCP had the greatest soil water deficit. The average soil moisture content of the 0–70 cm soil layer in WCP was 3.88% and 5.55% lower than that in CT during the 2013 and 2014 jujube growth seasons, respectively (p < 0.05). (2) JBM had the highest annual average soil moisture content in each soil layer from 0 to 70 cm, followed by CT, while WCP had the lowest. White clover and jujube competed for water in the 20–40 cm soil layer, and JBM had the lowest variation in soil moisture. (3) Mulching with jujube branches and planting white clover could both control the temperature of the 0–25 cm soil layer and narrow the daily temperature range, with JBM being the least affected by air temperature. (4) Jujube’s leaf area index and stem diameter increase in JBM were both significantly greater than in CT and WCP. In conclusion, using pruned jujube branches as surface mulch is appropriate for rain-fed jujube orchards because it can preserve soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and promote jujube growth.
