“…In the deficit irrigation treatment plots (PRDs and DI); degree of the water stress gradually increased towards the end of the growing season and resulted in reduced crop yields. Water use was reported to vary from 476 to 645 mm for deficit and full irrigation, respectively; for sprinkler-irrigated corn by Boz (2001) it was from 483 mm in PRD-50 and DI-50 to 654 mm in full irrigation treatment for surface irrigated corn in the first year and from 324 to 532 mm in the second year by Kirda et al (2005); and from 569 under deficit irrigation to 758 mm under full irrigation for drip-irrigated corn in the same experimental site, as reported by Bozkurt et al (2006). The water use amounts are within the ranges reported in previous studies done in the Cukurova University corn irrigation experiments.…”

This paper evaluates the effect of partial root zone drying (PRD) and deficit irrigation (DI) strategies on yield and water use efficiency of the drip-irrigated corn on clay soils under the Mediterranean climatic conditions in Southern Turkey. Four deficit (PRD-100; PRD-75; and one full irrigation (FI) strategies based on cumulative evaporation (E pan ) from class A pan at 7-day interval were studied. Full (FI) and deficit irrigation (DI-50) treatments received 100 and 50% of E pan , respectively. PRD-100, PRD-75 and PRD-50 received 100, 75 and 50% E pan value, respectively. The highest water use was observed in FI as 677 mm, the lowest was found in PRD-50 as 375 mm. PRD-100 and DI-50 resulted in similar water use (438 and 445 mm). The maximum grain yield was obtained from the FI as 10.40 t/ha, while DI-50 and PRD-100 resulted in similar grain yields of 7.72 and 7.74 t/ha, respectively. There was a significant difference among the treatments with respect to grain yields (P < 0.01). The highest water use efficiency (WUE) was found in PRD-100 as 1.77 kg/m 3 , and the lowest one was found in FI as 1.54 kg/m 3 .

“…Conventional deficit irrigation (DI) is one approach that can reduce water use without causing significant yield reduction (Kirda et al 2005). Partial root zone drying (PRD) is a further development of DI.…”

“…Howard et al (1999) reported that nitrogen application to non-irrigated furrows resulted in reduced nitrogen leaching. Furthermore, Kirda et al (2005) reported that N fertilizer was recovered at a higher rate in AFI than in OFI with 10% yield reduction in maize. They also indicated that AFI is as effective as OFI with 50% saving of irrigation water, but it should be regarded as an environmentally friendly irrigation practice due to its association with reduced mineral N residue left in the soil.…”

“…On average, N removed per tonne of fruit was of similar magnitude to the values reported by Mullins et al (2007). However, these are very low values (∼10%) if compared to amounts of N usually removed by annual crops, such as maize and potato, which can amount to more than 200 kg N ha −1 (Kirda et al, 2005;Badr et al, 2012). The amounts of the other nutrients removed in grape were 3.2, 28.7, 8.2 and 2.5 kg ha −1 and 36.1 g ha −1 , respectively for P, K, Ca, Mg and B.…”

a b s t r a c tPlant analysis plays a major role in fertilizer recommendations for perennial tree crops and vines. Plant analysis, however, does not quantify the rate of nutrients to apply. The approach developed in this work takes into account the content of the nutrients in grapevine parts and their dynamic within the plant to assist in the estimation of the amount of fertilizer to apply. Groups of three vines were cut at ground level on four different dates from September 14th to November 28th. On the first sampling date the vines were separated into trunk, cordons, canes, leaves and clusters for determination of dry matter content and elemental composition. On the following dates the vines were separated into the plant parts that were still present, since the clusters were only present on the first sampling date and the leaves on the first two. To assess the mobility of nutrients within the plant, samples of phloem vessels and sawdust of the entire trunk were taken as well as samples of chlorotic and green leaves. Nitrogen (N), potassium (K), phosphorus (P) and boron (B) showed mobility within the plant whereas calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) did not. The removal of nutrients in clusters is critical for estimating N and K fertilizer rates. Clusters removed 19.9 kg N ha −1 and 28.7 kg K ha −1 . In the case of N, it is also important to assess the system's ability to recycle the nutrient contained in the leaves and canes which amounted to 49.4 kg N ha −1 . Phosphorus, calcium and magnesium applications might not justify being taken into account in the annual fertilization plan. Thus, the establishment of the fertilization programme should be a nutrient-specific exercise which takes into account all sources of information, including target yield and nutrient content in clusters, the vineyard management strategies influencing nutrient use efficiency from fallen leaves and prunings and soil testing and plant analysis.
