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: 0.683 inch of water was applied (as measured by six rain gauges)
Irrigation system delay setting: 28;
Irrigation pressure: 22 psi;
Pressure at the pump: 50 psi.
Time of application was between 10:50 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
Weather conditions at 10:40 a.m. Mostly Sunny , 61 °F, wind 5-10 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 5.33 mph) wind gust 13.35 mph, from the Northwest, relative humidity 71.5%.
Weather conditions at 12:10 p.m. Sunny, 63.8 °F, wind 8-15 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 8.06 mph), wind gust 16.03 mph, from the North, relative humidity 57.8%.
Meter reading at the start of irrigation event: 5,892,704;
Meter reading at the end of irrigation event: 5,820,248.7;
Total gallon of water used in this irrigation event (as measure by a in-line water meter): A minimum amount of 27,544.7 gallons of water was applied at time of irrigation.; The flow meter was intermittently working so the total could be off some. The total amount of gallons appears to be close to what it should be for the amount of time it was running.
Average 410 gallons per minute (as measure by a in-line water meter).
