Irrigated the LTER Irrigated Resource Gradient Study (N-rate Study). Equipment Used: Irrigated with the Valley 8000 Linear Irrigation System. 0.57 inch of water was applied (as measured by five rain gauges); Irrigation system delay setting: 38%; Water pressure at the Linear system: 21-22 psi; Water Pressure at the well/pump: 50 psi; Time of application was between 9:10 a.m. - 10:36 a.m.; Weather conditions at the start: cloudy Temperature: 65 degrees F, Relative Humidity: 75.7 %, Wind: 4-5 mph South winds. Soil temp 63.6 degrees F, Soil moisture 15.5 %. Weather conditions at the end: cloudy, 68.8 degrees F, 67.4 % humidity, 6-8 mph South winds. Soil temperature 68.5 degrees F, Soil moisture 15.5 %. 30,324 gallons of water was applied during this irrigation event; At 50 psi we are using about 430 GPM gallons of water per minute.
