How Well Does Your Irrigation Canal Hold Water?, Robert Hill Mar 2000

How Well Does Your Irrigation Canal Hold Water?, Robert Hill

All Current Publications

Irrigation canals placed in native soil or lined with earth can have seepage water losses varying from 20 percent to more than 50 percent. Well designed, new compacted earth lined canals can have reduced seepage losses similar to concrete lined channels. However, consistent and regular maintenance is required to keep seepage losses low. Older concrete lined canals with deteriorated joints and frost heave or settled sections may also have high seepage losses and require rehabilitating.


Effects Of Irrigation And Nitrogen Fertilization On Protein Yield Of Common Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.), Mustafa Güler, Günal Akbay Jan 2000

Effects Of Irrigation And Nitrogen Fertilization On Protein Yield Of Common Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.), Mustafa Güler, Günal Akbay

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This research was carried out at the Experimental Field of the Department of Agronomy and Kenan Evren Research and Application Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Ankara University during 1993-1995 in order to determine the effects of different irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer applications on the grain protein yield of common wheat. Bezostaja 1, Gerek 79 and Gün 91 cultivars were used. 0 mm ( S 0 ), 20 mm ( S 1 ) and 40 mm ( S 2 ) irrigation applications and also 4 kg/da ( N 1 ), 6 kg/da ( N 2 ) and 8 kg/da ( N 3 …

Ec00-2540 Field Records For Restricted Use Pesticide Applications And Integrated Crop Management By Private Applicators, Clyde Ogg, Larry D. Schulze, Charles A. Shapiro, William L. Kranz, Ralph D. Kulm Jan 2000

Ec00-2540 Field Records For Restricted Use Pesticide Applications And Integrated Crop Management By Private Applicators, Clyde Ogg, Larry D. Schulze, Charles A. Shapiro, William L. Kranz, Ralph D. Kulm

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Private applicators must record their restricted use pesticide (RUP) applications, as required by the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade (FACT) Act of 1990. The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service administers this activity. In Nebraska, RUP application records must be maintained for three years from the date of application. The certified pesticide applicator should retain these RUP records, but must be able to make them accessible for copying by authorized representatives. This booklet is a suggested guide for preliminary or final RUP application records.


Ec00-154 Precision Agriculture: Soil Sampling For Precision Agriculture, Richard B. Ferguson, Gary W. Hergert Jan 2000

Ec00-154 Precision Agriculture: Soil Sampling For Precision Agriculture, Richard B. Ferguson, Gary W. Hergert

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

As various aspects of precision agriculture are implemented in Nebraska, some of the most frequent questions asked by producers, fertilizer dealers and crop consultants relate to soil sampling. Should I soil sample this field on a grid? What grid spacing should I use? How often should I sample? Can I use a yield map to tell where to soil sample? All of these are good questions, but often we do not have definitive answers. Site-specific management research conducted in recent years in Nebraska, however, provides some direction on how to implement a soil sampling program for precision agriculture.
