- W592850804 abstract "Lettuce produced in the desert typically shows large yield responses to N fertilization. However, concern about the potential threat of nitrate -N to ground water has prompted additional studies aimed at developing improved N management practices. Field experiments were conducted between 1992 and 1994 to evaluate the response of iceberg lettuce to N rate and N management practice. The use of controlled release N sources (CR19 were compared to a soluble Nfertilizer applied preplant (PP), and a soluble Nfertilizer applied in split sidedress applications (SD). Rates ofNfertilizer application ranged from 0 to 300 kg ha'. Lettuce generally showed significant responses to N rate and N management practice. However, response to management practice varied by site season. When conditions for N losses were high, SD and CRN management strategies were superior. However, in other site seasons SD management sometimes resulted in inferior head quality and marketable yield when compared other management strategies. Data averaged over six -site seasons shows improved yield and quality to CRN management strategies compared to PP and SD strategies. Although the controlled release fertilizers used in these experiments cost three times more the conventional soluble sources used, preliminary analysis shows the use of CRN strategies would sometimes be economically favorable. Introduction A large portion of the leafy salad vegetables produced in the United States during the winter months are grown in the low desert region of southern Arizona and southern California Relatively large areas are also under production in the adjacent States of Sonora and Baja, Mexico. The area of land utilized to produce winter vegetables has increased over the past 10 years. For example, in Yuma County, Arizona alone, vegetables harvested from 13,000 hectares in 1980 had a farm gate value of approximately 63 million dollars. By 1990, vegetables produced on 26,000 hectares had a farm gate value exceeding 130 million dollars. Nitrogen is the nutrient most limiting to crop production in this region. Because of rigid produce quality standards enforced by the market, lettuce receives appreciable amounts of N fertilizer for optimal yield and quality. There is concern that N fertilization of vegetables in Arizona may be contributing excess amounts of nitrate to ground water (State of Arizona Revised Statutes, 1987). A recent survey indicated that Arizona ranked third among the fifty states in the percentage of wells testing above the EPA standard of 10 ppm nitrate -N (Fedkiw, 1991). The Arizona Legislature has recently mandated the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMP's) by Arizona growers to reduce the potential risk of N fertilization to groundwater (State of Arizona Revised Statutes, Arizona Environmental Quality Act, 1987). These practices generally involve timing, amounts, and placement of N and irrigation water application (Doerge et al. 1991). The use of slow release N fertilizer sources is another promising option." @default.
