A drip irrigation system using porous plastic tubing was designed to study operational techniques of drip irrigation and fertilizer management in a highly weathered, leached, relatively low fertility, acid Oxisol. Sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) was the test crop. All plots received an initial broadcast application of a 10-4.4-8.3 N-P-K fertilizer at the rate of 80 kg/ha. The experiment followed a randomized complete block layout with 4 treatments and 6 replications. The treatments were as follows: 1) N and K injected into the drip system, P banded; 2) banded N, P and K with drip irrigation; 3) broadcast N, P and K with drip irrigation; and 4) control-drip irrigation, no N, P and K other than the initial overall broadcast application. All treatments, except the control, received a total of 56.8 g of a 10-10-10 fertilizer per plant and all were uniformly drip irrigated according to pan evaporation data. Two crops were grown: one in the dry season and one in wet season. Yields were significantly different among all treatments for the dry season crop, with a high of 82.62 kg/ha for the treatments where Nand K were injected into the drip system and a low of 31.54 kg/ha for the control. For the wet season crop, no significant yield differences were found when fertilizer was injected into the drip system and when banded, but both these treatments were superior in yield to that of broadcast. These three treatments were superior to the control, with more than 100% increase. Drip irrigation is a promising alternative to currently used water-nutrient management methods for Oxisols in the wet-dry tropics.

Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) is the major disease of rice caused by the bacteria Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), that has various pathotypes making it difficult to control. This research was aimed to determine Xoo pathotype group in irrigated paddy fields with different of planting time based on differences of irrigation system in Jatiluhur Reservoir. The research was conducted in Karawang District the wet season (WS) of 2013/2014 and dry season (DS) of 2014 through survey and sampling of infected rice leaves of BLB. Isolation of Xoo bacte-ria was done in the laboratory by using dilution methods. Xoo pathotype test was carried out by inoculating Xoo isolate on five different varieties in Indonesian Center for Rice Research’s green house, West Java. Observation of disease severity was done by measuring symp-toms of the disease that appeared at two and four weeks after inoculation. The disease severity of ?11% was classified as resistant (R), and for the disease severity of >11% was classified as susceptible (S). The results obtained a total of 602 Xoo isolates from rice plant samplings of irrigated rice fields in Karawang with irrigation systems I, II, III, and IV. At WS 2013/2014 was obtained 448 Xoo isolates consists of 29.69% of pathotype III; 40.85% of pathotype IV, and 29.46% of pathotype VIII. While, at DS 2014 was obtained 154 Xoo isolates consists of 1.95% of pathotype III, 53.25% of pathotype IV, and 44.80% of pathotype VIII. The areas with Type I of irrigation systems were domi-nated by Xoo pathotype IV in two cropping seasons. The areas with Type II of irrigation system dominated by Xoo pathotype IV in the wet season, while the dry season was dominated by Xoo pathotype VIII. The areas with Type III of irrigation system were dominated by Xoo pathotype III in the wet season, whereas during dry season was dominated by Xoo pathotype IV. The areas with Type IV of irrigation sys-tem were dominated by Xoo pathotype IV during wet season. Over all, in the dry season, Xoo pathotype IV was the dominant pathotype especially in irrigation systems Type I and IV. The dominance of Xoo pathotype can determine the resistant varieties that grown in the areas with different planting times on different irrigation systems.

In South-Eastern Nigeria, during the dry season from November to April, vegetables are always in short supply and consequently expensive. Hence, there is a need to design, develop an affordable and simple bucket drip irrigation system that can be used to grow vegetables under limited water supply conditions. Using the estimated consumptive use of the proposed crop okra and the area occupied by the crop stands, the capacity of the bucket as a source of water was computed. The bucket filled with water was placed at a head of 1 m. The water was allowed to flow through emitters located at 30 cm intervals along the lateral lines laid at the land slope of 2%. Two lengths of PVC tubes 11 m long, 1 mm thick and internal diameters 16 mm, Micro-tubes 5 cm long and internal diameter 1.2 mm, were used. The discharge from each emitter was determined through volumetric measurements. The system was then evaluated using the Christiansen’s method and the Merriam and Keller’s method and assessed using ASAE standards 1996(a) and 1996(b) performance rating. 22 sampled emitters evaluated from the lateral line showed total energy drop of 2.5 x 10-5 m, flow variation (FV) of 8%, coefficient of variation (CV) of emitter discharge of 0.02, uniformity coefficient (UC) of 97% and emission uniformity (EU) of 73%. The results show that the system is efficient and can be used by farmers to meet the demands for vegetables in the dry season.

Organic production is considered by many researchers to be a viable alternative to conventional farming systems. Equivalent yields already have been demonstrated in several studies. The major objective of our study was to collect data on total and marketable fruit yields of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) under organic farming conditions in the tropics. Experiments were conducted during the hot-wet season from 7 Mar. 2007 to 30 July 2007 and during the cool-dry season from 27 Nov. 2007 to 7 Apr. 2008. The six experimental entries included four commercial F1 hybrids and two genotypes bred at AVRDC–The World Vegetable Center (Shanhua, Taiwan). During the hot-wet season, high total (44.6–55.7 t·ha−1) and marketable yields (36.9–45.6 t·ha−1) were achieved under organic farming conditions in the open field similar to yields of conventionally produced sweet pepper in previous field experiments at AVRDC. The total yield of the commercial cultivars Queen Star and Hercules exceeded 50 t·ha−1; however, this was not significantly different compared with the other trial entries. During the cool-dry season, the total (25.4–45.7 t·ha−1) and marketable yields (21.1–37.8 t·ha−1) of all trial entries were reduced, probably because the relatively late planting date in November and relatively low air temperature resulted in reduced fruit set. The commercial cultivars Andalus and Green Bell Improved realized in both seasons a total fruit yield of more than 40.0 t·ha−1, suggesting that these can be grown successfully in hot-wet and cool-dry seasons. The relatively high yields of sweet pepper achieved on-station under tropical climatic conditions may encourage farmers and agricultural stakeholders to consider organic farming approaches as a viable alternative to conventional farming systems.

Abstract The advantages of drip irrigation of many agricultural crops are well known, but it does not allow to regulate the phytoclimate in the “environment-plant” system, which is especially important for the conditions of the hot and dry climate of the Republic of Dagestan. Currently, the efficiency of fine sprinkling on the background of drip irrigation was insufficiently studied, as questions remain the combined effect of irrigation on crop productivity in real climatic conditions on the effectiveness of combination with other agronomic techniques, etc. Experimental studies were conducted on the experimental field of the Department of Agriculture, Soil Science and Land Reclamation in the educational and experimental farm of the Dagestan State Agrarian University. The main purpose of the research was to determine the parameters of the combined irrigation technology, its effect on the microclimate of the irrigated field and the phytoclimate of plants, as well as the productivity of sweet pepper. As the result of experimental studies, it was found that the use of a combined irrigation system (drip irrigation + fine sprinkling) when cultivating sweet pepper allows to obtain an additional 9.4 t/ha of marketable products by optimizing the growing conditions.

Responses of adult pear to the integrated N fertigation and drip irrigation system have not been documented in Oregon. A field trial was conducted on adult pear at the Mid-Columbia Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Hood River, Ore., in 2005. Two N and water management systems (integrated N fertigation and drip irrigation system; and broadcast application of dry N fertilizer to the soil surface and microsprinkler irrigation system) were compared on pear cultivars of Bartlett and Golden Russet Bosc, and rootstocks of OH×F97 and OH×F87. The responses of these cultivars and rootstocks to the integrated N fertigation and drip irrigation system were similar. The integrated N fertigation and drip irrigation system consumed 1450 m3·ha-1 of irrigation water during the entire season from May to September, reducing irrigation water use by 73% compared with 5297 m3·ha-1 under the current system—broadcast application of dry N fertilizer to the soil surface and microsprinkler irrigation system averaged over the four cultivar and rootstock combinations. The fruit yield was statistically similar for the integrated N fertigation and drip irrigation system and the broadcast application of dry N fertilizer and microsprinkler irrigation system on the average of the four cultivars and rootstocks. Differences in fruit size and color were negligible between the two N and irrigation management systems. Overall, our results suggest that adopting the integrated N fertigation and drip irrigation system does not cause significant reduction in yield or quality of adult pear; the integrated N fertigation and drip irrigation system could be a profitable and environmentally sound management alternative for pear production.

Imidacloprid Applied Through Drip Irrigation as a New Promising Alternative to Control Mealybugs in Tunisian VineyardsMealybugs are serious insect pests in Tunisian vineyards where they can cause major production losses. Thus, a management program of these insects is a priority for grape growers. A summer pesticide trial was conducted in a vineyard, located in the Cap-Bon Region of Tunisia. The trial was carried out to assess the use of imidacloprid, a systemic insecticide, against mealybugs on vine. Imidacloprid was applied through the drip irrigation system for each vine and was then compared to methidathion, a contact insecticide. Imidacloprid was found to be more effective than methidathion on all mealybug developmental stages. In addition to its outstanding, up to 100% efficiency, imidacloprid provided an interesting long-term control of mealybugs. No significant difference was found between the two imidacloprid rates (1 and 2 ml/vine). Methidathion generated an overall low to intermediate efficacy on mealybugs and was more effective on both first instar nymphs and adult females than on the other mealybug developmental stages. Thus, imidacloprid applied through a drip irrigation system is a new promising option to control mealybugs in vineyards. For this reason it can be employed in an integrated management program against these pests in the Tunisian grape-growing area.
