2 Irrigation Water Management - Science, Art, or Guess?

3 Irrigation water management: questions to answer When should irrigations occur? How much water should be applied? How long should the irrigation last?

4 Avoid Deficit Irrigation

5 Avoid Overirrigation

6 Methods ET based (sometimes called the water balance approach) Plant based Soil moisture measurements Experience Guess

7 ET based method Calculate the crop evapotranspiration (ET) between irrigations and apply that amount plus any needed for irrigation efficiency Assumes that the ET between irrigations equals the soil moisture depletion (does not apply under shallow ground water conditions ET = Kc x ETo x IN ET = crop evapotranspiration Kc = crop coefficient ETo = reference crop ET (California Irrigation Management Information System) IN = days between irrigations

8

9 Plant based Use leaf water potential measurements to determine when to irrigation Pressure chamber Time consuming Use ET = Kc x ETo to determine how much water to apply

10 Soil moisture measurements Approach 1 measure changes in soil moisture content between irrigations assumes that the ET between irrigations equals the soil moisture change between irrigations When to irrigate How much to apply Approach 2 measure soil moisture tension to determine when to irrigate Soil moisture tension tenacity with which water is retained in soil (the drier the soil, the higher the soil moisture tension Use reference crop ET and crop coefficients to estimate the amount of water to apply Not recommended for drip and microsprinkler irrigation

11 Recommended method for drip and microsprinkler irrigation Select an appropriate irrigation frequency Use the ET based approach to determine how much water to apply Do not use soil moisture measurements to determine how much water to apply Monitor soil moisture to ensure adequate irrigation over time Periodic measurements Limited data May be difficult to identify trends in soil moisture Continuous measurement trends are readily evident in data

12 Methods for monitoring soil moisture Soil probe Tensiometers soil moisture tension Electrical resistance blocks soil moisture tension Watermark sensor Gypsum block Neutron moisture meter soil moisture Radioactive source licensing, storage Not appropriate for grower use Dielectric moisture sensors soil moisture

13 Soil probe

14 0 Tensiometer Cap Reservoir Vacuum Gauge Water Porous Ceramic Cup

15 Electrical Resistance Blocks Watermark Block Gypsum Block

16 Neutron moisture meter

17 Dielectric Soil Moisture Sensors Sensors measure an electrical property of soil called the dielectric constant varies with soil moisture content Calibration equation relates dielectric constant to soil moisture content

18 GroPoint Dielectric Soil Moisture Sensor

19 Echo Dielectric Soil Moisture Sensor

20 Enviroscan Dielectric Sensor

21 Conclusions of USDA ARS Research on dielectric soil moisture sensors All dielectric sensors studied required site specific calibration None of the sensors performed within the accuracy specifications published by the manufacturers Sensors were sensitive to soil bulk electrical conductivity Calibrations of sensors were more difficult to establish than for the neutron probe Sensor readings were sensitive to small scale variations of soil properties due to their very small zone of influence. These small scale variations were smaller than the scale at which plants respond to soil moisture

22 Drip/microsprinkler irrigation: where should the sensors be installed? Soil moisture under drip/microsprinkler irrigation varies with distance and depth from the emitter Root density also can vary with distance and depth from the emitters Installation too close very wet soil Installation too far little or no response to irrigation

30 How frequently should soil moisture be measured periodic vs. continuous measurements Periodic Measurement intervals once or twice per week Appropriate for sprinkle, furrow, and flood irrigation Not recommended for drip or microsprinkler irrigation Continuous Measurement interval few minutes to once per day Recommended for microirrigation
