Comment:
Irrigated corn 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: 1.05 inch of water was applied (as measured by six rain gauges)
Irrigation system delay setting: 18.5;
Irrigation pressure: 22 psi;
Pressure at the pump: 50 psi.
Time of application was between 8:45 a.m. - 10:50 a.m.
Weather conditions at 8:40 a.m. Sunny, 70.6 °F, wind 4-7 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 4.97 mph) wind gust 6.91 mph, from the Northeast, relative humidity 85.6%.
