unaged douglas fir bark mulch (Rexius Inc.). Containers were top-dressed with the label rate of 18N–2.6P–10K controlled-release fertilizer (CRF; APEX, 10–11 month, J.R. Simplot, Boise, ID). On 29 Dec. 2010, plants were transplanted into 3.8-L containers
if drip irrigation application rates can match hourly crop ET rates. This will require slight modification of existing systems (filters and pipes) and the development of ultralow-flow drippers. Controlled-release fertilizers [CRFs (mostly for N
have been correlated with high N levels because of controlled release fertilizers (CRFs) ( Bilderback et al., 1999 ). This has been further corroborated by levels found in irrigation runoff. Yeager et al. (1993) found moderately high NO 3 − –N
