Spatial and temporal characterization of water and solute distribution patterns

Abstract: The use of drip irrigation and marginal water is growing rapidly in some areas, highlighting the need to develop sound fertigation practices that combine environmental and crop production concerns. In this study the spatial and temporal water and solute distribution patterns are characterized to underpin fertirrigation design and management systems. Time domain reflectometry (TDR) probes were used to monitor the distributions of potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ) and water from drippers discharging at a constant flow … Show more

“…Irrigation management began on July 21, 2011, and was carried out according to the soil water balance; moisture was monitored by the TDR technique (Time Domain Reflectometry) (SOUZA & FOLEGATTI, 2011). Sensor calibration was performed based on daily readings of the apparent dielectric constant (ka) and respective determination of soil moisture by the gravimetric model.…”

“…A utilização dessa técnica tem-se expandido e proporcionado uma contribuição relevante para os estudos da relação solo-água-planta-atmosfera, possibilitando, dentre outros, avaliar a condutividade elétrica do solo (SONCELA et al, 2011), identificar o perfil de extração de água do solo pelo sistema radicular das culturas (BRUNHARA et al, 2011), estimar a evapotranspiração das culturas (OLIVEIRA NETO et al, 2011) e analisar o movimento de água no solo (SOUZA & FOLEGATTI, 2010;LOPES et al, 2010;BARROS et al, 2010). Para estimativas precisas de umidade utilizando o TDR, recomenda-se o ajuste de uma curva de calibração para cada tipo de material analisado, um inconveniente que normalmente é aceitável devido às vantagens que apresenta em relação a outras técnicas .…”

“…This application is facilitated through the combination of two models. The first, mentioned previously, determines CEw, and the second is characterized by the relationship between the electrical conductivity of the soil solution and the concentration of a specific ion, Ci, Santana et al, 2007;Souza & Folegatti, 2010;Andrade Neto et al, 2012) Much research has been directed toward the quantification of the dielectric losses (K") and its influence on the determination of the dielectric constant (Ka) and the apparent electrical conductivity (ECa). Cataldo et al (2008;2009) stated that even with appropriate calibration criteria, TDR readings can be affected by systematic or random errors, causing fluctuations in measurements.…”
