Two-dimensional modeling of water and nitrogen fate from sweet sorghum irrigated with fresh and blended saline waters

The need for reducing irrigation water demand and non-point source pollution all across Europe has made sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], due to its lower water and nutrient requirements, an interesting alternative to other traditional summer crops in European Mediterranean regions. HYDRUS-2D was used to model the fate of nitrogen in a plot planted with sweet sorghum grown under Mediterranean conditions between 2007 and 2010, while...
