Pepper Response to Leachate Recycling in a Greenhouse in Israel

Fertigation Management and Crops Response to Solution Recycling in Semi-Closed Greenhouses

“…Pepper response to a wider range of EC thr was studied in stone wool at Bet Dagan, central Israel (CV. A similar normalized relationship can be found in Bar-yosef et al (2001c). decline in open irrigation systems is 10% ± 3% per dS m −1 . Elevating EC thr from 2.3 to 4.0 and to 5.5 dS m −1 caused an overall 12 per cent decrease in marketable yield, or 3.7 per cent per dS m −1 .…”

Simulation of crop water and mineral relations in greenhouse soilless culture

“…Many papers (e.g., Brun et al, 2001;Klaring, 2001;Savvas, 2002;Pardossi et al, 2002) were published on the procedures to control fertigation in closed soilless culture. To our knowledge, however, few works were conducted on the management of closed systems in the presence of saline water using rose (e.g., Raviv et al, 1998), pepper (Bar−Yosef et al, 2001) or melon (Pardossi et al, 2002) as model crop. Among these, only Raviv et al (1998) and Pardossi et al (2002) reported a detailed study on the effect of fertigation strategy on crop yield, the use efficiency of water and fertilizers and the environmental impact provoked by the nutrient leakage associated to periodical flushing.…”

Influence of Nacl Concentration in the Irrigation Water on Salt Accumulation in the Root Zone and Yield in a Cucumber Crop Grown in a Closed Hydroponic System

“…The effects of progressively increasing salinity in closed hydroponic systems on plant growth and yield have been studied for some crop species (Bar-Yosef et al, 1999, 2000Raviv et al, 1998). However, there is no information on the effects of a progressively increase of salinity in the root zone due to recycling of the drainage solution on the yield of cucumber.…”
