University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Many irrigators apply chemicals such as fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides with their irrigation systems. This practice, called chemigation, can be an effective applicatio method if the chemical is suited to this practice and the irrigation system is properly engineered. Chemigation is regulated in Nebraska. The Department of Environmental Control (DEC) and the Natural Resource Districts (NRDs) conduct impsection and enforcement programs. This guide describes only the equipment requirements of DEC's regulations.

Monitoring soil moisture is fundamental to determining how much irrigation water should be applied and when the soil is able to store the amount of water to be applied. Establishing when and how much water should be applied is often referred to as irrigation scheduling.
This extension circular discusses soil moisture terms; what is a tensiometer, its installation and use; and worksheet.
