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...

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...
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...
Some consideration has been given to the irrigation of winter
wheat in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. This important crop has
yielded quite well since the development and introduction of the
stiff-strawed, semi-dwarf wheats, but, because of the usually dry
early summers, it has been suggested that irrigation of winter...
The Reclamation Act of 1902, as amended, is the basic
legislation governing the distribution of water from federal
projects for irrigation purposes. In the three-quarters
of a century since the passage of this Act, technological,
economic, and legal developments have forced a reappraisal
of the original intent of the Reclamation...
