Brief Project Summary:

This project determines triggering criteria to maximize yield and water use efficiency when using on-farm stored water for irrigation. It also compares economics of using surface vs. groundwater and develops a management tool for predicting the amount of stored or impounded water available and needed for soybean irrigation and how best to schedule irrigation from impounded water.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents
