With the implementation of the Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program (INRP) in 2012 and the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in 2014, growers across California are under increased regulatory pressure to meet nitrogen fertilizer and water use objectives through documented, measureable outcomes. Growers need information on the benefits of using low-cost best management practices (BMPs) so that they can quantify and report benefits of on-farm BMPs as part of an integrated irrigation and nutrient management strategy. This project will focus on conducting research to quantify the benefits of on-farm BMPs, including evapotranspiration-based irrigation management and the use of nitrate quick tests …
