California vegetable growers are adopting drip irrigation at an accelerating pace, which affords the opportunity for more exacting control of nitrogen nutrition. Consequently, the need for quick, accurate, grower-friendly techniques for monitoring nitrogen status in soil and plant material has increased. Three field monitoring techniques were examined in detail: the analysis of soil water samples drawn by soil solution access tubes (SSAT). leaf reflectance as measured by the Minolta SPAD 502 chlorophyll meter, and petiole sap analysis with a Horiba portable nitrate-selective electrode meter. Nitrate concentration in soil solution was highly stratified in drip-irrigated soils, both with regard to location in the field and position with respect to the drip line, making the use of SSAT technology impractical as a tool for routine N fertigation scheduling. Correlation of SSAT nitrate values to any measure of plant N status was poor. Similarly, leaf reflectance correlated poorly with any measure of tissue N in the crops examined. Nitrate content of petiole sap was highly correlated with conventional laboratory analysis of dry petiole tissue over a range of crops and nitrogen levels.

SUMMARYA trial using a split-plot with blocks design was carried out at the INTA Balcarce Experimental Station, Argentina on a typic argiudol soil to evaluate N nutrition in wheat after different preceding crops and using two rates of N fertilization (0 and 90 kg N/ha).Wheat (Triticum aestivum), soyabean (Glycine max), sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and maize (Zea mays) were grown in different combinations for two successive years (1984/85 and 1985/86).No water stress was detected during either growing season. Nitrogen availability was altered by the previous crops grown, but the effect lasted only for one season. Wheat following maize yielded least with no N and responded most to N fertilization. The highest yields of wheat without N and the lowest response by wheat to N fertilization were found after crops of soyabean and sunflower.Wheat after a fertilized wheat crop did not respond to N fertilization because of a serious attack of take-all (Gaeumannomyces graminis tritici).The nitrate concentration in wheat stem bases was found to be a good estimator of the availability of soil N.

N Status

Petiole sap NO3-N concentrations were tested as a means for monitoring crop nitrogen (N) status and N fertilizer responses in potatoes. An ion specific electrode was used to monitor sap NO3-N concentrations of three varieties of potatoes grown with differing amounts of N fertilizer in 1993–1995. Plots provided with varying amounts of fertilizer N applied prior to planting or as a split application were sampled on six occasions through the growing season. Sap NO3-N levels were positively correlated with petiole dry matter NO3-N levels. Petiole sap NO3-N levels reflected rates and timing of N fertilizer application. Sap NO3-N levels in the three cultivars showed similar changes with time after planting and increasing N fertilizer rates. However, sap NO3-N levels measured under a particular set of conditions were unique for each cultivar. The correlation between yields and sap NO3-N levels varied with the sampling date and cultivar. Recommendations were developed for critical sap NO3-N concentrations at various stages in the development of the three cultivars.

This study was conducted to assess the usefulness of petiole sap nitrate and total nitrogen (N) in dried leaf for determining N status and yield response in capsicum (Capsicum annuum L.) grown with plastic mulch and trickle irrigation in subtropical Australia. Five rates of N (0, 70, 140,210, 280 kg/ha) were applied in factorial combination with 2 rates of potassium (K: 0, 200 kg/ha) in randomised block experiments to capsicum cv. Bell Tower grown at Bundaberg Research Station in spring 1990 and autumn 1991. Critical nutrient ranges for nitrate concentration in petiole sap and for total N concentration in dried youngest mature leaf blades plus petioles (YMB + P) were derived at different stages of crop development (bud development, BD; first anthesis, FA; 80% flowering, F; fruit set, FS). Sap nitrate was about 5 times more sensitive to changes in N application than total N. Petiole sap nitrate accounted for a greater amount of the variation in marketable fruit yield (quadratic square root relationships, 0.45 < R2 < 0.83) than total N concentration in dried YMB + P (linear relationships, 0.29 < R2 < 0.74). Simple linear regressions indicated a stronger relationship between applied N and petiole sap nitrate concentration than total N concentration in dried YMB + P (range in R2 values among 8 sampling events: 0.71-0.91 for petiole sap nitrate, 0.35-0.78 for YMB + P total N). For the fertiliser application strategy, 60% of N was applied pre-fruitset and 40% after. Sap nitrate concentrations associated with 95 and 100% of maximum marketable fruit yield increased from BD (5010-6000 mg/L spring, 4980-5280 mg/L autumn) to FA (6220-7065 mg/L spring, 555M000 mg/L autumn). After FA, the range progressively decreased to 1640-2800 and 520-1220 mg/L at FS, for spring and autumn, respectively. It was concluded that petiole sap nitrate was a better indicator of plant N status and yield response than total N concentration in dried YMB + P for capsicum in subtropical Australia. A critical petiole sap K concentration (corresponding with maximum yield and at which no yield response to K addition was measured) of >4800 mg/L was proposed by correlating sap K with yield responses.

Petiole Sap

Sap nitrate was determined with the ion-selective electrodes, HACH combination nitrate electrode, and the CARDY nitrate meter on pepper petioles over five sample dates (n = 160). The electrode values were compared to the Cd reduction method performed on a Lachat automated ion analyzer with flow injection analysis. Thirty petioles were collected from plots of each of several N rate studies and the sap expressed by a hand-held garlic press. Correlation among the techniques were similar (r > 0.9), but the CARDY meter constantly read 100 to 175 ppm higher than the HACH. Across all dates the standard deviation of the difference, compared with the Cd reduction, for the HACH = 16 ppm, while for the CARDY it was 50. While the CARDY meter is easier to use and has fewer steps, the HACH electrode values were closer to the true readings and less erratic. One must use care when interpreting nitrate sufficiency value ranges with different quick-test techniques.

Mathematical model was developed and evaluated to monitor and predict the groundwater characteristics of Trans-amadi region in Port Harcourt City. In this research three major components were considered such as chloride, total iron and nitrate concentration as well as the polynomial expression on the behavious on the concentration of each component was determined in terms of the equation of the best fit as well as the square root of the curve. The relationship between nitrate and distance traveled by Nitrate concentration by the model is given as Pc = 0.003x2 - 0.451x + 14.91with coefficient of determination, R² = 0.947, Chloride given as Pc = 0.000x2 - 0.071x + 2.343, R² = 0.951while that of Total Iron is given as Pc = 2E-05x2 - 0.003x + 0.110, R² = 0.930. All these show a strong relationship as established by Polynomial Regression Model. The finite element techniques are found useful in monitoring, predicting and simulating groundwater characteristics of Trans-amadi as well as the prediction on the variation on the parameters of groundwater with variation in time.
