The project has two components: an agronomy component that will assess the impact of varying surface irrigation management strategies (scheduling and frequency) on nitrogen use efficiency, water use efficiency and overall system profitability; and a hydrology component that will develop irrigation design criteria that will allow precise application of water in basin irrigation layouts, such as bankless channel systems, allowing flexible management to match recommendations from the project’s agronomy component.
