Highlights

In the first year of this study, sensors were mounted along a center-pivot irrigation system on the Helms Farm to measure the water needs of corn and cotton.

Irrigation research using PA tools indicates varietal differences in yield response to application method and strategy. Some varieties apparently respond better to the use of highly efficient LEPA irrigation during pod development than do others.

In 2002, crop management zones, based on slope and soil electrical conductivity, were used to allocate irrigation water to a corn crop in Helms. This concept was succes2fully applied and tested. making this a viable management approach.
