In this first year study, Beck's Practical Farm Research (PFR)® team set out to evaluate the effectiveness of pivot irrigation and the profitability of fertigating through the pivot system.
In 2015, irrigation increased yield by 22.4 Bu./A. compared to no irrigation, but the real story lies in the addition of nitrogen (N) through fertigation at the VT growth stage.
This study compliments the N timing study at the Indiana Practical Farm Research site that demonstrated profitable late season N applications that missed many of the heavy rainfall events experienced in the 2015 growing season.
This study suggests that to maximize yield and return on investment, an additional 30 lb./A. of N was required by the crop.
It should be noted that this plot was planted in a really tough soil environment. The plot lacked significant top soil, had limited top-end yield potential, and typically has a favorable response to water.
Beck's Hybrids PFR program conducts more than 100 different studies across multiple locations (700+ acres) to learn how different management practices and new technologies perform in field environments. Simply put, it is research focused with the farmer in mind.
Sponsored 29.4 Bu./A. 5-Year Average Advantage of Sub-Irrigation
In an effort to determine if yields can be increased by controlling the water table level with a sub-irrigation system, Beck's Practical Farm Research (PFR)® team in Indiana has conducted a five-year study at their Indiana site.
The sub-irrigation system consisted of 3 in. tile, placed 24 in. deep and spaced 15 ft. apart, following the contour of the field topography.
Over the five years of this study, sub-irrigation has provided an average yield advantage of 29.4 Bu./A. over non-irrigated.
