Precision Irrigation Leads
To Efficiency
Tommy Horton
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.
Another strategy involves applying pre-plant irrigation water. Depending on conditions, a producer can apply water, divert it to other uses or save it – all in the same season.
Both strategies attempt to maximize water efficiency through irrigation timing and, consequently, use limited amounts of irrigation water.
