What are some other low-cost management practices that irrigators can adopt to conserve moisture when implementing deficit or limited irrigation strategies?
Furrow firming is a practice which can be used to reduce or even out infiltration rates in soils with high intake rates. Additional changes irrigators can implement include changes in furrow stream size which determines advance time. Management of the amount of crop residue, set times, length of run, surface conditions at the trough of the furrow, and furrow size together will increase water savings.
