Fertigation of Field Vegetable Crops
Response of field vegetable crop to S and Ca application is studied in on-farm field experiments conducted under fertigation conditions (with fertilizer application through drip irrigation).
IPNI-2015-RUS-4
Location: Volgograd Oblast, Southern Federal District. Goals: 1) Improve nutrition of vegetable crop grown under fertigation (with fertilizer application through drip irrigation). 2) Optimize fertilizer expenditures when growing field vegetable crops under fertigation. Objectives: 1) Study the response of field vegetable crops to such new fertilizers for fertigation as Calcium Nitrate, Ammonium Chloride, and Ammonium Sulfate Nitrate. Read more

Interpretive Summary
A research field experiment with tomato was conducted in 2017 at Gornaya Polyana Research Farm, Volgograd State Agrarian University, Volgograd. The light Chestnut soil (Haplic Kastanozem Chromic) had a clay texture, low salinity, low organic matter (OM) content (1. 8%), alkaline pH (7. 9), and very high concentrations of available phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) extracted with ammonium carbonate solution (49 ppm P2O5 and 521 ppm K2O) in the 0 to 20 cm soil layer.
An on-farm experiment with field tomato was conducted in 2016 at Gornaya Polyana Research Farm, Volgograd State Agrarian University, Volgograd. The light chestnut soil (Kastanozem) had a heavy texture, low salinity, low organic matter (OM) content (1. 82%), slightly alkaline pH (7. 40) and very high levels of available phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) extracted with ammonium carbonate solution (70 ppm P2O5 and 644 ppm K2O) in the 0 to 20 cm soil layer.
