Crop production in arid regions requires continuous irrigation to fulfill water demand throughout the growing season. Agronomic measures, such as roots-soil microorganisms, including arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, have emerged in recent years to overcome soil constraints and improve water use efficiency (WUE). Eggplant plants were exposed to varying water stress under inoculated (AM+) and non-inoculated (AM−) to evaluate yield performance along with plant physiological status. Plants grown under full irrigation resulted in the highest fruit yield, and there were significant reductions in total yield and yield components when applying less water. The decline in fruit yield was due to the reduction in the number of fruits rather than the weight of the fruit per plant. AM+ plants showed more favorable growth conditions, which translated into better crop yield, total dry biomass, and number of fruits under all irrigation treatments. The fruit yield did not differ between full irrigation and 80% evapotranspiration (ET) restoration with AM+, but a 20% reduction in irrigation water was achieved. Water use efficiency (WUE) was negatively affected by deficit irrigation, particularly at 40% ET, when the water deficit severely depressed fruit yield. Yield response factor (Ky) showed a lower tolerance with a value higher than 1, with a persistent drop in WUE suggesting a lower tolerance to water deficits. The (Ky) factor was relatively lower with AM+ than with AM− for the total fruit yield and dry biomass (Kss), indicating that AM may enhance the drought tolerance of the crop. Plants with AM+ had a higher uptake of N and P in shoots and fruits, higher stomatal conductance (gs), and higher photosynthetic rates (Pn), regardless of drought severity. Soil with AM+ had higher extractable N, P, and organic carbon (OC), indicating an improvement of the fertility status in coping with a limited water supply.

Water has always been the main factor limiting crop production in arid and semi-arid regions where rainfall is insufficient to meet crop demand. The invite to improve water use efficiency and crop productivity, to ensure future food security, has never been more urgent. Tomato yield performance was studied under different planting methods combined with different nitrogen (N) levels to evaluate the potentials and constraints of plant arrangement under drip irrigation for sustaining crop yield, N uptake, N use efficiency (NUE) and water use efficiency (WUE). Three planting methods were tested included arrangement of tomato plants in single rows, 100 cm apart (SR), normal twin rows at 40/160 cm alternately (NT) and dense twin rows at 40/100 cm alternately (DT), which resulted in rising total plant population by 150% as high as SR and NT. This was done along with four N levels (120, 180, 240 and 300 kg N ha−1), applied continuously by drip irrigation system. Drip laterals were laid out along each single row or in the center of the twin rows; consequently the relative number of laterals and water applied were reduced by 50% and 75% for NT and DT, respectively compared with SR. Dense twin planting produced 24% higher tomato fruit yield over SR although 75% of irrigation water was applied. Otherwise, NT with 50% saving in irrigation water and cost of drip laterals can be realized by loss only 15% fruit yield as compared with SR. Nitrogen supply tended to increase tomato fruit yield significantly up to the highest level of N with all planting methods. The interaction effect of planting method × level of N was significant for almost yield components. Nitrogen supply increased tomato N uptake linearly with maximum N removal from the field 193 kg ha−1 under DT and N300 treatment combination, which contributed to higher fruit yield and total dry biomass. The lowest N treatment (N120) gave the higher N recovery with all planting methods, despite the sand texture of the soil. NUE was higher under DT as compared with SR but the NUE consistently decreased with increase level of N supply with all planting methods. WUE of both twin planting were higher (69% for NT and 64% for DT) compared with SR indicating to efficient use of water applied under this method of planting. The results of this study suggest that dense twin planting can be viable and rational practice to increase crop yield and saving substantial amount of irrigation water as well as cost of drip laterals.

Efficient water delivery systems such as drip irrigation can contribute towards increasing crop yield potential, improving crop water and fertilizer use efficiency. However, critical management considerations such as subsurface drip irrigation are necessary to attain improved irrigation efficiencies and production benefits particularly under arid regions. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of two irrigation methods, surface and subsurface drip irrigation combined with four irrigation levels, 100, 80, 60 and 40% of crop evapotranspiration on yield and yield components of potato grown on sandy soil. The field experiments were conducted in the years 2008 and 2009. In terms of soil water availability to plants, subsurface drip provided more favorable growth conditions for plant growth and maintained higher soil water content at the root zone, which resulted in a significant higher potato yield compared to surface drip irrigation. The difference between the two irrigation methods on yield components was concentrated on the mean tuber weight per plant, while no significant difference was found on the tuber number per plant. Reducing the amounts of applied water significantly decreased total potato yield and its components. Under subsurface drip irrigation, reducing amounts of applied water to 80% ETc gave comparable yield and yield components to surface drip at full irrigation supply, indicating that 20% irrigation water can be saved without affecting the potato yield. At all irrigation levels, subsurface drip recorded higher water use efficiency (WUE) over surface drip. Maximum value was observed at 40% ETc. Fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) was also higher under subsurface drip and reduced significantly under both irrigation methods with increasing water deficit. These results suggested that subsurface drip offers the potential of better water management with respect to saving and distribution of water in the root zone and to obtain maximum yield accompanied by highest water and FUE. Effiziente Bewässerungssysteme, wie Tröpfchenbewässerung können zur Steigerung des Ertragspotenzials, sowie zur Verbesserung der Wasser- und Düngernutzungseffizienz beitragen. Allerdings sind kritische Erwägungen des Unterflur-Tröpfchenbewässerungs-Managements notwendig, um eine verbesserte Effizienz der Bewässerung und Produktionsvorteile, vor allem in ariden Regionen, zu erreichen. Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Wirkung von zwei Bewässerungsmethoden, eine oberflächliche und eine unterirdische Tropfbewässerung, kombiniert mit vier Bewässerungsstufen 100, 80, 60 und 40 % der Evapotranspiration, auf Ertrag und Ertragskomponenten der Kartoffel auf sandigen Böden zu untersuchen. Die Feldversuche fanden in den Jahren 2008 und 2009 statt. Bezüglich der Verfügbarkeit des Bodenwassers für die Pflanzen, wurden bei der Unterflur-Tröpfchenbewässerung günstigere Wachstumsbedingungen und höhere Wassergehalte in der Wurzelzone festgestellt. Diese bewirkten einen signifikant höheren Ernteertrag von Kartoffeln im Vergleich zur oberflächlichen Tröpfchenbewässerung. Der Unterschied zwischen den beiden Bewässerungsmethoden auf Ertragskomponenten bestand im Mittelgewicht der Kartoffelknollen pro Pflanze, während keine signifikanten Unterschiede auf die Anzahl der Knollen pro Pflanze gefunden wurden. Der Ertrag ging mit einer Reduzierung der Wassermengen deutlich zurück. Eine Verringerung der angewandten Wassermengen auf 80 % ETc bei Unterflur-Tröpfchenbewässerung, ergab einen vergleichbaren Ertrag wie mit Vollversorgung bei oberflächlicher Tröpfchenbewässerung. Somit zeigte sich, dass 20 % des Bewässerungswassers gespeichert werden können, ohne dass dies Auswirkungen auf die Ernteerträge hat. Durchgehend für alle Bewässerungsstufen hatte die Unterflur-Tröpfchenbewässerung eine höhere Wassernutzungseffizienz als die oberflächliche Tröpfchenbewässerung. Der maximale Wert wurde bei 40 % ETc festgestellt. Die Düngernutzungseffizienz war ebenfalls höher bei der Unterflur-Tröpfchenbewässerung und wurde deutlich in beiden Bewässerungsmethoden mit zunehmendem Wassermangel reduziert. Diese Ergebnisse verweisen darauf, dass eine Unterflur-Tröpfchenbewässerung das Potenzial eines besseren Wassermanagements hinsichtlich des Wassersparens sowie der Wasserverteilung in der Wurzelzone hatte. Mit diese Verfahren wurden maximale Erträge und eine höchste Wasser- und Düngernutzungseffizienz erreicht.

With rising concern about current irrigation and fertilizer NPK management, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of sources and methods of fertilizer application on nutrient distribution, uptake, recovery and fruit yield of tomato grown in a sandy soil. Equal amounts of NPK were applied in solid form or through fertigation at levels of 0%, 50%, 75% and 100% with the remainder 100%, 50% and 25% applied as solid fertilizers to the soil. Available NO3−-N and K were confined to the root zone of tomato in 75% and 100% NPK fertigation levels, while they moved beyond the root zone when they applied in two equal splits as solid fertilizers with drip (0% fertigation) and furrow irrigation. The mobility of P was greater in the root zone following its application through fertigation compared to a solid application as super phosphate. Drip irrigation showed significantly higher absolute growth rate (AGR), total dry weight (TDW) and leaf area index (LAI) of tomato over furrow irrigation. Moreover, tomato plants were able to utilize applied nutrients more efficiently in fertigation system than with conventional solid fertilizer application. Highest AGR, TDW and LAI were recorded when nutrients were applied to 100% by drip fertigation. The fruit yield of tomato was higher with drip irrigation (58.62 t ha−1) than with furrow irrigation, (47.37 t ha−1). Maximum fruit yield was recorded with 100% NPK fertigation (74.87 t ha−1) and was associated with a higher number of fruits per plant and a bigger fruit size than the solid applied fertilizers under both drip and furrow irrigation. On average, tomato accumulated more NPK across the fertigation levels than with drip and furrow irrigation. Similarly, the more controlled application of nutrients in fertigation treatments improved NPK recovery and fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) and resulted in lesser leaching of NO3−-N and K to deeper soil layers. Die Bedeutung des Bewässerungsmanagements und der NPK-Düngüng steigt stetig an. In einer Studie wurde die Wirkung der Düngerformen und der Anwendungsmethoden auf Nährstoff- Verteilung, -Aufnahme, und -Verwertung untersucht. Weiterhin wurde der Ertrag von Tomaten, die auf sandigem Boden angebaut wurden, untersucht. Es wurden gleiche Mengen an NPK-Düngemittel ausgebracht (Fertigation* in Stufen von 0%, 50%, 75% und 100% und der Rest von 100%, 50%, 25% und 0% als feste Form). Verfügbares NO3−-N und K wurde in der Wurzelzone von Tomaten bei einer Fertigationsstufe von 75% und 100% NPK gefunden, während bei einer Anwendung mit festem Düngemittel (0% Fertigation) und Furchenbewässerung sich NO3−-N und K über die Wurzelzone hinaus bewegten. Die Mobilität von P war größer bei einer Ausbringung durch Bewässerungsdüngung als bei einer Anwendung als Super-Phosphat. Tomaten der Tropfenbewässerung zeigten eine signifikant höhere absolute Wachstumsrate (AWR), Trockenmasse (TM) und einen signifikant höheren Blattflächenindex (LAI) gegenüber der Furchenbewässerung. Darüber hinaus waren die Tomatenpflanzen in der Lage bei der Bewässerungsdüngung die angewandten Nährstoffe effizienter zu nutzen, als bei der Düngung in herkömmlicher fester Form. Die höchsten AWR, TM und LAI wurden erfasst, wenn die Nährstoffe zu 100% in Form der Bewässerungsdüngung angewendet wurden. Der Ertrag der Tomaten war höher bei der Tropfenbewässerung (58,62 t ha−1), als bei der Furchenbewässerung (47,37 t ha−1). Die maximalen Erträge wurden mit 74,87 t ha−1 bei 100% NPK Fertigation erfasst und wurden mit einer höheren Anzahl der Früchte pro Pflanze begleitet. Zudem waren die Früchte der Tomaten größer, als bei der Anwendung fester Düngemittel (sowohl bei der Tropfenbewässerung, als auch bei der Furchenbewässerung). Im Durchschnitt, akkumulierten die Tomaten mehr NPK über die Fertigationstufen als bei den Bewässerungssystemen (Tropfen und Furche). Ähnlich verliefen auch die NPK-Verwertung und die Düngernutzungseffizienz: mit einer geringen Auswaschung von NO3−-N und K in tiefen Bodenschichten. Fertigation“ bzw. „Bewässerungsdüngung“ ist die Einspeisung der Dünger via Tropfenbewässerungssystem zu verstehen.

The effect of different nitrogen (N) levels on growth and productivity of Cape gooseberry, cultivated in new reclaimed lands (sandy soil) at Nubaria region in Egypt, was investigated. Nitrogen levels were applied at rates of 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg N ha as ammonium sulfate. The amount of N for each treatment was divided into five applications (after transplanting, seven days later, at the beginning of flowering, during fruit set and after the first harvest). Several growth parameters and yield were recorded in addition to nitrogen content in leaves. The results revealed that Cape gooseberry plants responded positively to nitrogen levels in sandy soils. Yield, number of fruits, and diameter of fruits increased significantly by increasing the nitrogen level up to 200 kg N ha. Moreover, plant height, number of leaves, N-content in leaves and N-uptake shows a positive reaction to increased nitrogen supply. The quantitative effects of nitrogen on Cape gooseberry plants and the possible explanations of plant responses are discussed.Es wurde die Wirkung verschiedener Stickstoffstufen (N) auf Wachstum und Ertrag von Kapstachelbeeren, angebaut in den neuen Landgebieten (Sandböden) bei Nubaria, eine Region in Ägypten, untersucht. Als Stickstoffdüngung wurde Ammoniumsulfat in Stufen von 50, 100, 150 und 200 kg N ha verwendet. Die Höhe der gesamt N-Menge wurde zeitlich auf fünf Gaben verteilt (nach dem Pflanzen, sieben Tage später, zu Beginn der Blüte, während der Fruchtbildung, und nach der ersten Ernte). Zusätzlich zu dem Stickstoffgehalt in den Blättern wurden unterschiedliche Wachstumsparameter und der Ertrag der Kapstachelbeeren erfasst. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die Kapstachelbeerpflanzen in sandigen Böden positiv auf Stickstoff reagierten. Bei einer Erhöhung der Stickstoffmenge bis zu einer Stufe von 200 kg N ha wurde eine signifikante Steigerung des Ertrags, der Anzahl der Früchte und deren Durchmesser ermittelt. Darüber hinaus zeigten die Pflanzenhöhe, die Anzahl der Blätter, der N-Gehalt der Blätter und die N-Aufnahme eine positive Reaktion auf eine erhöhte Stickstoffversorgung. Die quantitativen Auswirkungen von Stickstoff auf die Kapstachelbeere und die mögliche Erklärungen der pflanzlichen Reaktionen werden diskutiert.
