Tree water uptake is often estimated based in a crop coefficient kc, a ratio of the tree water uptake and a reference evapotranspiration, ET0. The concept behind estimating tree crop coefficient implies that data should be representative of the population of trees analyzed. Ideally it would require the monitoring of a large number of trees in each treatment population. This paper reports on a scaling method to ...
Utilizando plantas de Sorgo Sacarino, investigou-se a possibilidade de atenuação do efeito inibitório da salinidade pela aplicação de fertilização azotada. As plantas foram crescidas em solo, numa estufa, e regadas com três níveis de solução de cloreto de sódio (0, 5 e 15 g L-1 NaCl) e três níveis de solução de nitrato de amónio (0, 0,4 e 0,6 g L-1 NH4NO3), num desenho experimental 3 × 3, com 4 repetições, num ...
Mestrado em Gestão e Conservação de Recursos Naturais - Instituto Superior de Agronomia / Universidade de Évora ; This work aims to predict the salinization and sodification in two soils when irrigated with saline waters combined with different fertigation levels. In a three years period, two experimental fields were set up with maize irrigated with a Triple emitter source (TES) irrigation system. The impact i...
Experimental results obtained in Southern Portugal from a dry-farmed mature olive tree orchard recently converted to drip irrigation are described. Water use and response to two irrigation management practices by olive trees was monitored with sap flow compensation heat pulse sensors, ‘Watermark’ granular matrix block sensors and a capacitance probe. The 80-plus-year-old mature olive tree orchard planted on a 1...
Abstract The impacts of sprinkler irrigation on infiltration, runoff and sediment loss of ten representative soils of Southern Portugal were assessed by laboratory sprinkler irrigation simulation tests. All soils showed very low permeability to applied water. The mechanical impact of water droplets enhanced soil dispersion and further lowered their infiltration capacity, particularly for high clay plus silt con...
ABSTRACT: Center-pivot irrigation systems often apply water at rates greater than the soil infiltration rate. Applying high molecular weight, water-soluble, anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) to the soil can improve infiltration and reduce soil erosion The objective of this study was to determine whether single and multiple PAM applications with sprinkler irrigation improved infiltration under field conditions. A tw...
