“…However, a marked increase in EC sw at 0.5 to 0.75 m was observed in the lysimeters, subirrigated with EC iw 7.5 dSиm Ϫ1 (Table 1). As a result, observations in this study differ from those obtained previously (Patel et al, 1999(Patel et al, , 2000(Patel et al, , 2001 in that EC sw could significantly increase in top layer under a shallow water table. However, it should be noted that EC sw levels in the earlier experiments were within reasonable limits from a crop production perspective.…”

“…In addition, there was 33.3 mm of fresh water added through rainfall. Thus, green peppers have been grown with water having marginal salinity, or brackish water applied after establishing crop with fresh water using other methods than subirrigation; however, its cultivation using subirrigation with saline water is not well understood (Patel et al, 1999(Patel et al, , 2000(Patel et al, , 2001.…”

An experiment was undertaken at the McGill University experiment station at Ste-Anne de Bellevue, Canada, to study the effect of different fertilizers on green pepper yield as it is influenced by saline water supplied through a subirrigation system, which was used to supplement water stored in the soil. Green peppers (Capsicum annuum L.), cv. Bellboy, were grown in field lysimeters filled with a sandy loam soil. The lysimeters were covered with plastic sheets to prevent rainfall/surface water entry. Water having salinities of 1, 3, 5, and 7.5 dSиm Ϫ1 , was applied through the bottoms of the lysimeters, and steady-state water tables were maintained at 0.45 or 0.9 m from the surface. The soil solution salinity in the soil profile remained less than 3.5 dSиm Ϫ1 during the growing season, and there was no appreciable increase in soil solution salinity in the root zone. Five rates of fertilizers were applied on the soil R. M. Patel is Research Associate, S. O. Prasher

“…The present results and that of others (e.g., Patel et al, 1999Patel et al, , 2001 thus revealed that potato was less salt sensitive than earlier believed. As compared in Table 4, the interaction effects of irrigation water quality and fertilizer dose on the tuber yield were significant.…”

2 This study evaluated fertilizer contribution of municipal wastewater on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivation in a split-plot experiment having two factors: water quality with 5 levels and fertilizer with 2 levels. Irrigation by raw wastewater supplied 16, 13, 13, 23, 1.7, and 83% of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), and boron (B) requirement of potato, respectively. Wastewater compared to freshwater, improved plant height, vigority, area coverage, leaf area index (LAI), stem per plant, number and weight of tuber per plant, above-ground dry matter (ADM), and tuber yield of potato. Averaged over 3 years, irrigation by 75 and 100% (raw) wastewater with recommended standard fertilizers produced the maximum, but identical, tuber yield. Wastewater raised N, P, and K contents in potato plants and tubers. Irrigation by wastewater could reduce the fertilizer requirement of potato by 10-15%. However, it caused high accumulation of total coliform (TC) and faecal coliform (FC) on potato skin, restricting the use of the produce.

This research was carried out to investigate the effect of installation spacing of subsurface drip irrigation pipe on the mineral content, nutrient uptake, yield of lettuce, water requirement for irrigation, and soil chemical properties in greenhouse cultivation. Semi-forcing and retarding culture were implemented in this experiment, with four treatments containing overhead spray irrigation and three subsurface irrigation lateral spacing intervals of 30, 40, 50 cm at a depth of 30 cm from soil surface, respectively. Each mineral content of lettuce grown under subirrigation system did not show significant difference between treatments, however the uptake of nutrients was lower at 50 cm-distance. The yield was largest in 30 cm-subirrigation (SI), followed by 40 cm-SI, overhead spray, and 50 cm-treatment. Water requirement for irrigation was highest in overhead spray, and it was in reverse proportion to the distance of irrigation pipes. NO 3 -N content in the soil, at a depth of 10 cm, showed a higher value in 50 cm-SI, followed by 40 cm-SI, overhead spray and 30 cm-SI. Exchangeable K content was highest in 50 cm-SI, Mg was highest in 40 cm-SI, and Ca was lowest in 30 cm-SI. In conclusion, the lettuce yield was not different between 30 and 40 cm-SI, but water requirement for irrigation was lower as the distance of irrigation pipes was further. And it seems to be needed more precise research on this theme, because crop yield and the dynamics of soil minerals in subsurface irrigation can vary with the depth and distance of irrigation pipes, dripper, water flow depending on the soil texture, and plant response to soil minerals.
