Comment:
Irrigated winter wheat 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: 1.06 inch of water was applied (as measured by six rain gauges).
Irrigation system delay setting: 19.5;
Irrigation pressure: 21 psi;
Pressure at the pump: 50 psi.
Time of application was between 10:32 a.m. - 12:39 p.m.
Weather conditions at 10:05 a.m. Cloudy , 60.7°F, wind 6 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 6.07 mph) wind gust 13.41 mph, from the East, relative humidity 67.8%.
Weather conditions at 12:35 p.m. Cloudy, 66.4°F, wind 4 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 4.14 mph), wind gust 13.95 mph, from the East, relative humidity 65.7%.
Meter reading at the start of irrigation event: 6,566,743.2;
Meter reading at the end of irrigation event: 6,599,144.5;
Total gallon of water used in this irrigation event (as measure by a in-line water meter): A minimum amount of 32,671.3 gallons of water was applied at time of irrigation.; This reading could be erroneous due to the delay at which the flow meter updates.
Average 422 gallons per minute (as measure by a in-line water meter).
