|
| Instructions: Add daily evapotranspiration (ET) for each
day since your last irrigation. |
|
| This is the
amount of water the crop has used. This amount plus 10-20% for efficiency
must be added. |
|
| Totals for two,
three, four, five, and 7-days are added for you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Rainfall is not included. Subtract effective rainfall for each
individual field. What is presented is |
|
| the net amount
of irrigation needed. Add 10 to 20%
for irrigation inefficiency. You might
add 20% for high |
|
| pressure
overhead sprinklers and add at least 10% for low pressure drop nozzles. In the early season, do |
|
| not irrigate
until the amount needed is at least 0.50 inchesunless you are trying to keep
the surface wet for |
|
| emergence.
Irrigating with small amounts wastes water as most of the water is lost to
soil evaporation. |
