| Abstract/Contents: | "Uniformity of soil moisture under sprinkler irrigation is important for plant quality; however, sprinkler systems are typically gauged by the uniformity of application above the crop canopy. The objectives of this study were to measure and analyze both application uniformity with catch cans and soil moisture uniformity to quantify the relationship. Under testing on bare soil and turfgrass, soil moisture uniformity was always higher than catch can uniformity when quantified by the low quarter distribution uniformity. During the testing of this project, the low quarter distribution uniformity of soil moisture in the upper 10 cm of soil approximated the low half distribution uniformity from catch can data." |
