Irrigated the LTER Irrigated Resource Gradient Study (N-rate Study).
Equipment Used: Irrigated with the Valley 8000 Linear Irrigation System.
0.64 inch of water was applied (as measured by six rain gauges);
Irrigation system delay setting: 32%;
Water pressure at the Linear system: 21-22 psi;
Water Pressure at the well/pump: 50 psi;
Time of application was between 10:05 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.;
Weather conditions at the start: (10:00 a.m.):
cloudy, Temperature: 63 degrees F, Relative Humidity: 78%, Dew Point ? degrees F, Wind: 3.18 mph (5 minute average at 9 ft) out of the Northeast; Maximum wind gust in the last hour: 5.12 mph (at 33 ft); Soil Temp: 65 degrees F, Soil Moisture: 9.1%;
Weather conditions at the end: (11:30 a.m.):
cloudy, Temperature: 70 degrees F, Relative Humidity: 69%, Dew Point 59 degrees F, Wind: 2.18 mph (5 minute average at 9 ft) out of the Southeast; Maximum wind gust in the last hour: 7.44 mph (at 33 ft); Soil Temp: 78 degrees F, Soil Moisture: 9.1%;
36,770 gallons of water was applied during this irrigation event;
At 50 psi we are using about 400 GPM gallons of water per minute.
