1、Evaluation of the influence of irrigation methods and water quality on sugar beet yield and water use efficiency

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of irrigation method and water quality on sugar beet yield, percentage of sugar content and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE). The irrigation methods investigated were subsurface drip, surface drip and furrow irrigation.

2、Assessment of drip and flood irrigation on water and fertilizer use efficiencies for sugarbeets

This study shows that drip irrigation can be used for SBs with effective fertilizer and water management plans for sustaining water quality and agricultural productivity.

3、Effect of different drip irrigation regimes on sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) yield, quality and water use efficiency in Middle Anatolian, Turkey

The results revealed that irrigation of sugar beet with drip irrigation method at 75% level (DI25) had significant benefits in terms of saved irrigation water and large WUE, indicating a definitive advantage of deficit irrigation under limited water supply conditions.

4、RESEARCH Evaluation of water use and yield responses of drip

Effective water use should be investigated in terms of sustainable production strategy in arid and semi-arid regions. A 2 yr field study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of full root-zone wetting (FI) and partial root-zone drying (PRD) irrigation techniques with 4 (I1) and 8-d (I2) irrigation intervals and three different irrig...

Fertility Management of Drip

Drip irrigation allows precise timing and uniform distribution of fertilizer nutrients. Improved efficiency results from small, controlled fertilizer applications throughout the season, in contrast to large preplant or early-season sidedress applications.

DRIP IRRIGATION IN SUGARCANE: A REVIEW

The drip irrigation adoption in ­­sugarcane increases water use efficiency (60-200%), saves water (20-60%) , reduces fertilization requirement (20-33%) through fertigation, produces better quality crop and increases yield (7-25%) as compared with conventional irrigation.

Evaluation of the effects of irrigation and fertilization on tomato fruit yield and quality: a principal component analysis

Technologies such as drip irrigation can maintain or increase yields while improving WUE and fertilizer use efficiency and decreasing losses that lead to environmental pollution 16.

Application of15N

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer use efficiency by sugar cane in Mauritius rarely exceeds 40%. Since drip-irrigation delivers water uniformly and directly to the root zone with little run-off, application of N via the drip-irrigation system could therefore provide a means of enhancing fertilizer N use by sugar cane.

Mixing Manure with Chemical Fertilizers, Why?and What is After?

Using chemical fertilizers or organic manure alone as amendments may bring negative effects to the quality of crops. Neither of these alone can sustain productivity. Hence, judicious uses of organic manure with chemical fertilizers are essential to augment productivity of crops.

Coupling effects of water and fertilizer on yield, water and fertilizer use efficiency of drip

Excessive fertilizer use can result in increased costs, waste fertilizer resources and degrade soil structure. Water-use efficiency is an important indicator of water-saving agriculture, and high water use efficiency is the key to sustainable agricultural development in water-scarce areas.

Red sugar has a long history of use in agriculture. Besides being a flavorful food, it is also employed as a natural fertilizer. Rich in minerals and trace elements, red sugar can promote plant growth. before using it as a drip fertilizer, the following considerations are essential:

1. Composition of Red Sugar: Primarily composed of sucrose, red sugar also contains minerals and trace elements. While these provide some nutrients for plants, their concentrations are relatively low, so it cannot replace conventional chemical fertilizers.

2. Functions of Red Sugar: The minerals and trace elements in red sugar can enhance plant growth, improve disease resistance, and increase photosynthetic efficiency. Additionally, it may adjust soil pH and enrich soil fertility.

3. Dosage: The amount of red sugar used depends on the plant’s growth stage and soil fertility. Generally, 5–10 kilograms per mu (approx. 0.067 hectares) is sufficient. Excessive use can lead to high soil salinity, hindering normal plant growth.

4. Application Methods: Red sugar can be applied directly to the soil surface or diluted with water. Avoid mixing it with chemical fertilizers, as this reduces the effectiveness of the latter.

5. Storage and Transportation: Red sugar is hygroscopic, so moisture protection is critical during storage and transport. It is also best used within one month of purchase due to its limited shelf life.

6. Environmental Impact: Since red sugar is derived from sugarcane, excessive use may strain sugarcane cultivation, affecting its yield and quality. Prioritize sustainable production practices when using red sugar as a fertilizer.

7. Suitable Crops: Red sugar benefits various crops, including grains, vegetables, and fruit trees. It works well for acidic-soil-loving plants like citrus and apples but may negatively impact alkaline-soil crops like wheat and corn.

8. Economic Considerations: While red sugar offers natural fertilization advantages, its higher cost compared to conventional fertilizers requires economic planning. Combining it with other fertilizers can help reduce expenses.

Red sugar, as a natural fertilizer, can promote plant growth and improve soil health. When used as a drip fertilizer, adjust dosage based on plant needs and soil conditions, address environmental concerns, and consider crop compatibility. Combining it with other fertilizers often yields optimal results.
