Modeling Solute Transport in Soils with Pitcher Fertlgatlon System

Abstract

There is high motivation to develop pitcher irrigation system due to its effectiveness in wetting the root zone. Many experiments have been conducted to study water flow in soils with the application of pitcher irrigation. The objective of this research is to develop models to study solute transport in the soils. Numerical approaches with 2-D finite difference method were applied and verified. The results show the models are more or less confirmed well with measured data.
