Download or read book Efficient Nutrient Management in California Vegetable Production written by Timothy K. Hartz and published by UCANR Publications. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With growers now facing increasingly stringent regulations designed to minimize nutrient losses to the environment, this guide outlines a fresh take on fertilization best practices for the industry. Nutrient management is critical to successful vegetable production. Given the high value and exacting market standards for size, appearance, and postharvest quality for vegetable crops, fertilizer management practices have focused on optimizing production across a wide range of field conditions. While effective in producing good crops, these practices are not necessarily reflective of input costs or environmental protection. Drawing on 25 years of industry experience, the author outlines the principles of nutrient management that are broadly applicable across crops and production regions. Growers, PCAs, and fertilizer industry professionals will find a practical understanding of crop nutrient requirements, soil nutrient availability, the value and limitations of soil and plant nutrient monitoring, and environmental protection in these pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cover crops slow erosion, improve soil, smother weeds, enhance nutrient and moisture availability, help control many pests and bring a host of other benefits to your farm. At the same time, they can reduce costs, increase profits and even create new sources of income. You¿ll reap dividends on your cover crop investments for years, since their benefits accumulate over the long term. This book will help you find which ones are right for you. Captures farmer and other research results from the past ten years. The authors verified the info. from the 2nd ed., added new results and updated farmer profiles and research data, and added 2 chap. Includes maps and charts, detailed narratives about individual cover crop species, and chap. about aspects of cover cropping.
Download or read book Characterizing the Nitrogen Benefit of Alfalfa in California written by Eric Fleming Lin and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfalfa in high-yielding environments fixes significant amounts of atmospheric N2, a portion of which benefits succeeding non-legume crops and reduces fertilizer N requirements by an amount sometimes termed the “legume N benefit.” Field research-based estimates of the N benefit in California and other irrigated, semi-arid or arid environments are sparse, with most previous work having been conducted in predominantly rainfed, humid systems. Differences in crop management and growing environment between cropping systems could mean that nitrogen benefits in California and similar environments are different from nitrogen benefits in predominantly rainfed cropping systems. We conducted replicated plot experiments at three field station sites in California using wheat as an indicator crop to assess alfalfa’s N contribution to a subsequent crop. The wheat was grown with N rates ranging from 0 to 280 kg N ha−1 after (1) continuous alfalfa (‘Following Alfalfa’) or (2) sudangrass-wheat (‘Following Grains’). Plants were assessed for biomass production, nitrogen uptake, and grain protein content. A growth benefit was observed for plants in the ‘Following Alfalfa’ treatment for all growth metrics, and wheat in both rotation treatments took up the same amount of nitrogen when supplied with 280 kg N ha−1. Alfalfa’s rotational N benefit likely accounted for most of its rotation benefit to wheat, and at one location this benefit was enough that N fertilization had no effect on aboveground biomass. Based on biomass production and nitrogen uptake data, we calculated a nitrogen benefit of between 102 and 114 kg N ha−1 for wheat following a healthy alfalfa stand in an irrigated semi-arid environment.
