Trickle Irrigation; A Study of Moisture Distribution in the Soil Profile
type: CreativeWork
description: Irrigation in Illinois has increased fourfold in the last decade. Sprinkler irrigation accounts for most of the irrigation in Illinois. While originating in arid regions of the world, trickle irrigation is beginning to receive notice in the humid and sub-humid sections of the United States. Whether trickle irrigation is a good supplementary irrigation system in an area of variable precipitation, similar to central Illinois, has not been investigated. The irrigation water requirement of vegetable crops for maximum yield and the effect of discharge rate on the distribution of moisture in heavy soils under a trickle source were subjects of this investigation.
