Groundwater and nitrogen management in Willamette Valley mint production

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service, Selker, John, and Rupp, David Earl
Abstract:: Directly below commercial mint fields, percolation in excess of 10 ppm of nitrogen as nitrate (NO3 --N), the EPA drinking water standard, occurs for much of the year (Figure 1, page 2). Concentrations rise rapidly after irrigation starts in June, indicating that this nitrogen is being pushed through by irrigation...

Strategies for reducing irrigation water use

Creator:: Jensen, Lynn, Shock, Clinton C., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: When water is plentiful, growers usually schedule irrigation practices around other farming activities. For example, most growers change furrow irrigation sets at 12- or 24-hour intervals because this timing is convenient and uses labor efficiently. When water is in short supply, you need to rethink some practices to obtain maximum...

An irrigation efficiency model for optimum irrigation management

Creator:: Isbell, Brett, 1978-
Abstract:: Improved water use efficiencies in irrigated agriculture are necessary to assist in coping with the accelerating demand and economic competition for the world's fresh water supply and increasing ecological concerns. This will likely rely in part on optimum irrigation, which implies regulated deficit irrigation. While conventional irrigation management is intended...

Potential benefits of water banks and water transfers

Creator:: Jaeger, William K. (William Kenneth) and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Since publication of the Oregon State University–University of California report on Klamath Basin water allocation,1 the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and Klamath Water Users Association (KWUA) initiated a pilot project to compensate growers who agree to withhold irrigation from 12,000 acres of Project lands. This “Pilot Water Bank,” in place...

Evaluation of models for estimating surface irrigation infiltration parameters : Data protocols and algorithm performance

Creator:: Isbell, Sarah A.
Abstract:: Often furrow irrigation application efficiencies are low compared to sprinkler systems. The primary goal of furrow irrigation is to infiltrate a relatively uniform target depth of water necessary for the crop, while minimizing the amount of runoff. The concept is difficult because water can infiltrate differently at all locations in...

Spring irrigation management of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) seed production

Creator:: King, Craig Millhouser
Abstract:: Introduction of later maturing cultivars of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) places more seed production fields in a period of drought common to Oregon during vital stages of reproductive development. During these stages, the final yield of the crop is largely determined by the number of seeds set, and the...

Management guide for drip irrigation on seed carrots in central Oregon

Creator:: Oregon State University. Extension Service, Weber, C. E. (Caroline E.), Butler, M. D., Campbell, C. K., Holliday, B. A., and Klauzer, J.
Abstract:: In 2000 and 2001, research at the Central Oregon Agricultural Research Center in Madras, Oregon evaluated drip irrigation significant reduction in water usage, increased seed yields, and a decrease in disease. As a result, drip irrigation was placed in commercial fields in 2002. Drip irrigation is now used in the...

Spring irrigation management of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) seed crops

Creator:: Orthel, Krista D.
Abstract:: Later maturing cultivars and increased ability to apply irrigation have led to inquiries by producers about proper irrigation management in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) seed crops. The literature reveals little information about irrigation of perennial grass seed crops in general, and none about tall fescue in particular. Willamette Valley...
