Often low intake rate soils need special consideration when
applying water during an irrigation. Surface flooding for extended
periods may cause adverse crop growth conditions. Properly
designed sprinkler systems often eliminate irrigation problems,
because the application rate and quantity of water applied can be
readily controlled.

The work reported herein constitutes a final report for a project funded by the U.S. Department of Interior, Office of Water Resources and Technology, Grant No. 14-31-0001-4218.
This report is one of a series issued in cooperation with the Army-Navy-Civil Committee on Aircraft Design Criteria under the supervision of the Aeronautical Board.
The effects of aspect, canopy, elevation, and season both singly
and in combination on soil temperatures at 50 cm depths were
evaluated.
The objectives of the study were (i) to develop a standard procedure
for obtaining soil temperature data adequate to classify soils
at the family and great group levels,...
This publication focuses on how to design a soil nutrient monitoring strategy that fits today’s requirements for record keeping and increased accuracy in managing nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and other nutrients. We advocate the use of management units or zones for soil testing and nutrient application. To measure a real...
