The goals of this project were to demonstrate to cooperating growers how irrigation and fertilizer management are linked together and how management may prevent water movement below the root zone. More specifically, the objectives were to: establish partnerships with three key growers and discuss fertilizer and irrigation management, determine the position of the water front throughout the growing season, diagnose crop nutritional status, and determine nitrate distribution in the soil profile at the end of the growing season. This document is HS1008, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Improving irrigation management in vegetable crop production reduces production costs, saves water, and reduces the risk of nutrient leaching. As water movement in the root zone below mulched beds is difficult to see, injecting soluble dye through the drip irrigation system provides a simple and practical method to visualize water movement in the soil. Understanding water movement in raised beds is essential for improving irrigation scheduling and nutrient delivery. This document is HS980 one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

This publication is one of a series entitled Fertilizer and Irrigation Management in the BMP Era. This series is divided into nine principles described in the Introduction Chapter (HOS-897). This publication is part of Principle 2, "Soil Test and Follow the Recommendations." BMP implementation requires a global approach to production management. However, for presentation purposes, each aspect of vegetable production is described in a separate publication. This document is HS902, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The purpose of this guide is to provide detailed information for use by greenhouse and nursery operators conducting specific fertilization and irrigation management practices to establish a waiver of liability for recovery costs resulting from nitrate contamination of ground water. This waiver is facilitated by the 1994 legislation (Chapter 576.045, F.S.) that provided for interim measures. Even though this publication was written specifically to help nursery operators implement fertilization and irrigation practices for the management of nitrate nitrogen, the concepts and principles are applicable to other nutrients, such as phosphorus, and potential groundwater contaminants. This document is ENH895, one of a series of the Environmental Horticulture Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
