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: 0.933 inch of water was applied (as measured by six rain gauges)
Irrigation system delay setting: 24;
Irrigation pressure: 21 psi;
Pressure at the pump: 50 psi.
Time of application was between 9:00 a.m. - 10:35 a.m.
Weather conditions at 8:35 a.m. Cloudy , 58.8 °F, wind 7-12 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 7.83 mph) wind gust 12.27 mph, from the North West, relative humidity 96.2%.
