Causes and Prevention of Emitter Plugging In Microirrigation Systems by D. Z. Haman

“…Over the past two decades, microirrigation has emerged as a preferred method for both irrigation and freeze protection in trees and horticultural crops. When managed effectively, microirrigation offers several advantages, including comparable water application uniformity, improved water use efficiency, minimized deep percolation and runoff with proper scheduling, efficient delivery of fertilizers and chemicals through fertigation and chemigation, and the ability to irrigate land too steep for other irrigation methods. …”

Increasing Efficiency and Reducing Costs of Citrus Nutritional Programs by Mongi Zekri, Thomas Obreza, Arnold Schumann

“…Efficiently producing maximum yields of high quality fruit is difficult without an understanding of soils and nutrient requirements of bearing citrus trees. Most Florida citrus is grown on soils inherently low in fertility with low cation exchange capacity (CEC) and low water-holding capacity, thus they are unable to retain sufficient quantities of available plant nutrients against leaching by rainfall or excessive irrigation. …”
