Brief Project Summary:

The knowledge of proper irrigation scheduling is essential for achieving optimum soybean yields. One key aspect of irrigation scheduling is determining when to initiate and terminate irrigation practices. This study aids Louisiana producers in determining the optimum initiation and termination of irrigation. The project determines the critical timing for irrigation and termination in soybean production in northeast Louisiana and evaluate the influence of maturity group on irrigation timing in soybean production.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents
