ABSTRACT
214Precise irrigation and fertigation allow an accurate and uniform application of water and nutrients to the wetted area, where the active roots are concentrated. Planning the irrigation system and nutrient supply to the crops according to their physiological stage of development, and consideration of the soil and climate characteristics, result in high yields and high-quality crops with minimum pollution. In this chapter, efforts were made to discuss various issues of irrigation and fertigation scheduling for the precision water and nutrient management for achieving high nutrient use efficiency under protected and open cultivation.
