Precision Irrigation Leads
To Efficiency
Tommy Horton
Most researchers agree that drip irrigation can work, but the system must be maintained properly to realize any potential benefits. Bordovsky found that clogged lines could be cleared if manganese levels in the water were causing the problem. By adding hydrogen peroxide concentrate, the situation improved.
Other research has also documented results for breakthroughs in maintaining efficient irrigation. Bordovsky's team has studied two approaches that directly deal with existing soil moisture profiles.
One test strategy involved the benefits of "banking water" for the future. In other words, a pre-plant soil moisture profile may indicate that a field is so dry that available water for it would be better utilized elsewhere, and it doesn't need to be irrigated.
In one area, existing soil moisture and rain are saved for the next year's crop, while making more water available in other areas.
