Treatment: Yield Check: 186 Bu AgZyme® with Ag Concepts® Super Hume®: 202 Bu Summary: Yield increase of 16 Bu/Acre with AgZyme® and Ag Concepts® Super Hume® Application: Ag Concepts® Super Hume® at a rate of 1 gallon per Acre and AgZyme® at a rate of 12.8 ounces per Acre. Both products were applied in furrow at planting with a liquid ...
Traditional irrigation methods, such as flooding and furrow irrigation, have given way to more sophisticated systems, including drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, and pivot irrigation. ...
During this second phase, applied water and evapotranspiration were within five per-cent of each other in the drip– and furrow–irrigated plots. However. yields averaged 26 to 35 percent higher in SDI plots. ...
In June, the rice-planting season will shift into high gear across the country. And as anyone who has worked with rice knows, it’s unique because of the irrigated conditions it’s grown in. For the crop to be a success, you need a levee that produces the right controlled flooding environment. To help you be successful this season, AMCO has created this guide to building levees that ...
The proliferation of drip irrigation enabled the widespread use of this growing technique, as it allows for a more uniform application of water in small amounts and at more frequent intervals than was possible with flood/furrow irrigation. The vines are given less water than they would be able to use for transpiration, creating a desired level of water stress to achieve defined ...

In the rice contest, most farmers used multiple-inlet rice irrigation and alternate wetting and drying. About half the fields were furrow irrigated; the other half used alternate wetting and drying. Furrow irrigation is a production system for rice that has become more popular in recent years. It was interesting that people used the ...
They are falling down to the hole cut in the foil and furrowed in the soil. After that seeds are covered with earth and press by rear wheel. ...
Irrigation was effected every seven to eight days by flooding of the furrows. All treatments received the same irrigation and fertilization. ...
It then gets to plants the way it has for millennia — via flooded furrows. This is the oldest and simplest form of crop irrigation. Drip irrigation is an increasingly popular way to improve irrigation efficiency over this traditional approach. ...

While the prevailing rationale for new irrigation technology adoption is improved water use efficiency, this study evaluated trade-offs between water savings, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and economic gain associated with the conversion of a furrow irrigation system to a sprinkler irrigation (lateral-move) system on a cotton farm in eastern Australia. ...
The effect of the farmer practice (flat seedbed), tied-ridging and contour furrows water harvesting techniques and five integrated nutrient management practices on the performance of rain-fed maize was studied at the southern rangelands of Kenya (Kibwezi) during the 2006 short rainy season. ...
The least efficient are flood and furrow irrigation. Sprinkler irrigation, using the center-pivot systems that are widely seen in the crop circles in the western U.S. ...
Virginia market-type peanut cultivars in North Carolina vary in the number of days following emergence required to reach optimum maturity, and concern over cultivar response to interactions of tobacco thrips (Frankliniella fusca Hinds) damage in absence of in-furrow insecticide and injury from paraquat exist with respect to cultivar selection. Experiments were conducted during ...
While E 109 occupied, on average, 13.2% of nodules with seed inoculation, LP 3008 occupied 28.2%. In comparison, in-furrow inoculation yielded 24.2 and 37.2% average nodule occupancies for E 109 and LP 3008, respectively. ...
The samplers were placed 30 and 150 m from the inflow source along a 180-m-long corn field. The field was furrow irrigated using WSPAM at the rate of 10 mg L–1 during furrow advance. Percolation water and furrow inflows were monitored for AMD during and after three furrow irrigations. ...
This study was conducted during 2003 and 2004 to determine if furrow-bed seeding and plastic mulching improve stand establishment and cotton lint yield in a saline field. The experiment was arranged in a split-plot design with seeding patterns (flat-seeded and furrow-seeded) as main plots and mulching (with or without plastic mulching) as subplots. ...
The experimental objective was to determine how antecedent mechanical cultivation of mature turfgrasses interacts with surface application of liming agents to neutralize soil acidity within the upper and lower depth segments of a hectare furrow slice (2.24 x 106 kg soil). Various liming agents were applied to three lawn systems, each afflicted with soil acidity and thatch ...
Tie-ridging at other times typically resulted in increased grain yield compared with traditional flat planting if planted on the ridge, but decreased yield with in-furrow planting. Mean grain yield was 48, 23, and 35% with planting on the ridge compared with in-furrow if tie-ridging was done before planting for faba bean, lentil, and field pea, respectively. Soil ...
“The individual heavy rear press wheels really follow the ground contours, closing and pressing the seed furrow in a way that a conventional Cambridge roller never can,” said Richard Marris. ...
