Irrigated soybeans in the LTER Irrigated Resource Gradient Experiment (Irrigated N-rate Study). Equipment used: Irrigated with the Valley 8000 Linear Irrigation System. Amount of water applied: 0.51 inch of water was applied (as measured by six rain gauges). Irrigation system delay setting: 39; Irrigation pressure: 22 psi; Pressure at the pump: 50 psi. Time of application was between 4:25 p.m. - 5:25 p.m. Weather conditions at the start: sunny, 84.8 degrees F, wind 8-14 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 8.8 mph) from the northwest, relative humidity 40.7%. Weather conditions at the end: sunny, 85.2 degrees F, wind 10-16 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 10.4 mph) from the west, relative humidity 39.6%. Total gallon of water used in this irrigation event (as measure by a in-line water meter): 29,500.5 gallons of water was applied at time of irrigation. Average about 425 gallons per minute. Water meter at the start of the 2021 irrigation season: At the start of this irrigation event (the first one of the 2021 growing season) the in-line water meter had 1,848,132.0 gallons on the meter.
