Augmented Deficit Irrigation Research Goals <br />• How much historic return flows can be maintained while <br />deficit irrigating a given field? <br />The need for additional recharge sites on-farm. <br />• How much CU / ET is saved from corn crop water <br />stress? Develop a monitoring system for CU and Deep Perc. <br />• Can water productivity (more bushels per inch) be <br />M <br />ncreased with deficit irrigation? Irrigate only at critical <br />growth stages and start with a full soil water profile, drought <br />conditioning, other agronomic practices (fertility, twin -row <br />planting, corn varieties, etc). Targeting 80% yield at 50% ET. <br />DEVELOPING IRRIGATOR INFO. TO SUSTAIN YIELD DURING <br />DROUGHTS. <br />
