“…Comparatively few studies have investigated the effect of compost prepared from municipal garbage on potato. It has been demonstrated that tuber hierarchy can alter in response to environmental changes (Heidmann et al, 2008). The potato plant, however, may also be affected by low irradiance and other common abiotic factors (Oumèma et al, 2006).…”

Incorporation of compost in soil will not only protect the environment, but also take advantage of the nutrients and organic matter contained in the compost to enhance soil fertility and crop production. Field experiments were carried out during the 2006/2007 and 2007/ 2008 growing seasons at the College of Food and Agriculture Farm, United Arab Emirates University. The experiments were established in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The plot dimension was 3.2 mÂ2.8 m, with four rows per plot. The treatments were designed to study the effect of compost rates on the potato production and soil fertility properties. Five rates of compost were investigated (control, 40, 80, 120 ton compost per hectare; and inorganic fertilizers (250 kg N$ha -1 , 250 kg P 2 O 5 $ha -1 and 300 kg K 2 O$ha -1 )). Results of the first growing season 2006/2007 showed that marketable tuber yield, plant height and specific gravity were greater in compost amended soil than in nonamended soil even if inorganic fertilizers were added. Application of 120 ton compost per hectare gave the highest total tubers number, marketable tuber yield, height and specific gravity.

“…The inclusion of data from several independent years makes the modeling process stronger and more robust than if using data from a single year (Heidmann et al 2008). Many parameters in the model are bio-physical and their values have to be known for the process they refer to.…”

Aim To study maize (Zea mays L.) growth and soil nitrogen (N) dynamics in monocrop and intercropped systems in a North European climate and soil conditions with the support of a simulation model. Methods Field data for 3 years at two sites/soil types in Denmark and three main factors: (i) cropping history (maize or grass-clover), (ii) maize monocrop or intercropped with red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) and (iii) three fertilizer N rates, were used to calibrate and validate the DAISY model for simulation of crop growth and soil N dynamics. Field and model results were used to study the treatment effects on the maize systems. Results Intercropped maize had 15-37 % lower N leaching than monocrop maize. Maize intercropping following a maize crop was achieved without yield loss at the standard N rate or higher, while red fescue offset N leaching. Maize intercropping following grass-clover needed less N, thereby greatly reducing the N leaching. Conclusions The hypothesis that maize intercropping with fertilizer N rates applicable to monocrop maize decreases N leaching without significant yield loss was largely supported given the effect of cropping history and soil type. The applicability of DAISY was extended to provide better analyses of intercropping systems and complex management options to reduce N leaching across northern Europe.

“…Previous studies also tested various potato cultivars but were often limited in the number of cultivars. Other studies had analyzed model performance for a single cultivar with the models SIMPOTATO and DANUBIA (Hodges et al, 1992;Gayler et al, 2002;Lenz-Wiedemann et al, 2010); six cultivars with the model SUBSTOR-potato (Griffin et al, 1993); seven cultivars with the model DAISY (Heidmann et al, 2008); and 10 cultivars with the model INFOCROP (Aggarwal et al, 2006). Only one model, SOLANUM, was used to compare simulated and observed yields for a large number of potato species (Condori et al, 2010).…”
