Subsurface Drip Irrigation: Increased Efficiency for Irrigation and Nutrient Delivery

2021-09-21

This week John McMaine and Anthony Bly follow up on last week’s discussion on subsurface drip irrigation and cover the following: Subsurface drip irrigation maintenance, lifespan, and cost. The variables that can impact subsurface drip irrigation design. The relationship between SDI systems and the water source. Benefits that come out of an SDI system in different locations. SDI systems and the ability to manage drastic weathers. SDI systems’ ability to manage the hydrology in a fie...

This week John McMaine and Anthony Bly follow up on last week’s discussion on subsurface drip irrigation and cover the following:

Subsurface drip irrigation maintenance, lifespan, and cost.
The variables that can impact subsurface drip irrigation design.
The relationship between SDI systems and the water source.
Benefits that come out of an SDI system in different locations.
SDI systems and the ability to manage drastic weathers.
SDI systems’ ability to manage the hydrology in a field.

Joining us again for this week’s episode is Dr. Todd Trooien, an agricultural engineer and researcher for the Department of Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering here at South Dakota State University.
