Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water and nitrogen are probably the main external resources that most contribute to crop development and yield and whose best use defines the profitability and sustainability of many irrigated agricultural systems. In irrigated agriculture, nitrogen fertilizer management practices, i.e., the forms used, the time and place of application, as well as the amounts applied, are greatly influenced by the irrigation management practices, i.e., type of irrigation, irrigation design, irrigation frequency and irrigation rates. These two farming practices, irrigation and nitrogen fertilization and their joint management, contribute substantially to the higher or lower efficiency in the use of both resources, water and nutrients, and therefore to the sustainability of the agricultural system. In this Special Issue of the journal Nitrogen, we want to highlight the relevance of the joint management of water and nitrogen, how both factors can affect each other, and how necessary it is to integrate or consider both factors to discuss the sustainability of the agricultural system. Therefore, all those works that integrate both practices (irrigation and fertilization) for greater efficiency in the use of water and/or nitrogen will be welcome.
