Brief Project Summary:

Nationally irrigation research is dominated by the needs of the semi-arid Southwest U.S. The small amount of irrigation research performed in the Mid-Atlantic has focused on corn and vegetables. With over 25% of the tillable land in Delaware under irrigation and the importance of soybeans as a rotational crop, it has become evident that improved irrigation management practices are necessary to maximize soybean yields and profitability. Recently, there have been a few Delaware soybean growers reporting irrigated yields well above average. Proper irrigation management is a major factor in maximizing soybean yield. Furthermore, several cases of above average yields have been reported with...
