Results revealed that the application of the total tomato plantsfertilizer requirements (l00 kg-N per feddan) with bi-weekly fertigation interval and injecting fertilizers within the second-third of the total irrigation time may be an effective technical package of fertigation management under subsurface drip irrigated sandy soils for improving tomato yields and enhancement of the agricultural environment under drought ecosystem conditions UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2008/JBCES/308/4/III/491.pdf ER -
