Abstract
A new fertigation management was tested to verify the availability of frequent moisture and nutrition management in rhizosphere of Chinese cabbage and eggplant in open field soil culture. Under fertigation management, the soil moisture level remained constantly stable in the open field. It was shown that growth and mineral absorption of both crops were significantly improved in this system. Although the amounts N of Chinese cabbage and eggplant cultivated using this system were 54% and 71% of basal fertilization, respectively, yields were equal to those obtained with the conventional treatment.
