Tomatenteelt op substraat met sterk zouthoudend water veroorzaakt productieverlies. Drie jarig onderzoek van IMAG toont aan dat een vochtig klimaat in de kas de schade kan verminderen
The Netherlands research assistance project was implemented from 1988 till 2000. The project was a joint undertaking by the International Waterlogging and Salinity Research Institute (IWASRI), Lahore, Pakistan, and the International Institute for LandReclamation and Improvement (ILRI), Wageningen, the Netherlands. The project focused on drainage te...

A transient model approach is introduced to improve design procedures for subsurface drainage systems in relation to different irrigation management strategies to increase crop productivity and environmental sustainability in the water scarce environment of Pakistan. The water flow and solute transport model, SWAP, is used to evaluate the impact of...
Since the mid 1970s substrate growing has become popular in the greenhouse industry in The Netherlands. Because of the small rooting volumes that are used in substrate growing, such systems require an accurate fertilization, but at the same time they offer possibilities for precise control and management of the conditions in the root environment.Th...
This work deals with the yield loss caused by saline irrigation water in greenhouse tomato cultivation, and the way climate manipulation may be used to limit damage. The hypothesis is that by "controlling" the evaporative demand of the ambient, it is possible to manipulate plant water status, in order to restore the balance distorted by high salini...
The study described in this thesis focuses on the quantitative understanding of water uptake by roots under separate and combined salinity and water stresses. The major difficulty in solving Richards' equation stems from the lack of a sink term function that adequately describes root water uptake. From the existing microscopic and macroscopic sink ...
