Trickle Irrigation for Cut Flowers, Vegetables and Small Fruits (EB 356)

It is a 23-page book that is intended for the new grower who is seeking to install an irrigation system. The second part of the book discusses how much water to
apply and a moisture sensor called a tensionometer that can help one to manage and schedule irrigation events. Trickle irrigation for rowcrops is discussed.
The following topics are covered: water sources - quality and quantity; production layout fo the crop and rowcrop tubing; plant-soil-water relationships; and components
of a trickle irrigation system and design considerations are covered. Also included are how to calculate the amount of water to be applied and the use of a tensionometer for
monitoring soil/media moisture is explained to give a good management method.
