FERTIGATION MANAGEMENT BASED ON SIMULATION MODELS

AYMAN SAMIR OSMAN EL-ABD;

Abstract


Fertigation technique is widely used in Mediterranean basin countries where nutrients are injected through irrigation water in concentrations meeting the actual plant requirement. Effective fertigation management requires a highly qualitative database to achieve the maximum profit of either yield production or conserving agricultural and physical resources for sustainable agriculture and minimizing potential negative impacts on either irrigation system efficiency or environmental and human hazards.

A. Objectives of this study were:
1. Build, verify and validate a simulation model for managing fertigation of potato crop under Egyptian conditions.
2. Improve yield production for potato crop via maximizing fertigation management efficiency using simulation models.

B. The material and methods used in this work can be summarized as following:
1. A simulation model named Fertigation Mag-SM (Fertigation Management Simulation Model) was coded and compiled using Microsoft visual basic 2013. The study presented the proposed model with its components, the built up reference information (location information, soil properties, climatic data, crop data, and
