Abstract/Contents: | "Rain shelters are important research tools for studying the soil-plant-water system. Much attention has been given to the design of these structures for the purpose of keeping water off plots; however, irrigation under these structures has not been widely reported. A simple irrigation system was developed from readily available materials for use under a large rain shelter. Solid set, low-volume sprinklers frequently used by the turf industry were employed. Performance and evaluation tests showed that the system had uniform water distribution over the main-plot area of 4.6 × 6.2 m2 plots, while minimizing overlap between adjacent plots. The water application rate achieved was approximately 25 mm h-1 for individual units. Christiansen uniformity coefficients (CUC) were 83 to 85% for tested units. Water falling a distance of 0.7 m or less outside of a plot was less than 3 mm h-1, while at greater distances it was essentially zero." |
