Comment:
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: 0.6875 inch of water was applied (as measured by six rain gauges)
Irrigation system delay setting: 28;
Irrigation pressure: 20 psi;
Pressure at the pump: 46 psi.
Time of application was between 3:00 p.m. - 4:20 p.m.
Weather conditions at 3:00 p.m. Partly Cloudy , 77.3 °F, wind 7-15 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 7.57 mph) wind gust 14.96 mph, from the West, relative humidity 53.1%.
Weather conditions at 4:10 p.m. Partly Cloudy, 78 °F, wind 6-15 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 6.81 mph), wind gust 15.85 mph, from the West, relative humidity 51.9%.
Meter reading at the start of irrigation event: 6,001,377;
Meter reading at the end of irrigation event: 6,022,098.1;
Total gallon of water used in this irrigation event (as measure by a in-line water meter): A minimum amount of 20,721.1 gallons of water was applied at time of irrigation.; The flow meter was intermittently working in the beginning of irrigation. This was the first irrigation for the year so all of the lines needed filled to prime the system.
Average 402 gallons per minute (as measure by a in-line water meter).
