dc.descriptionPresented at the 21st annual Central Plains irrigation conference on February 24-25, 2009 in Colby, Kansas.
dc.description.abstractResearch was initiated under sprinkler irrigation to compare limited irrigation of corn with three other summer crops (grain sorghum, soybean, and sunflower) grown under no-till practices. Corn responded the most to increased irrigation. Because of changes in growing conditions, the crop that is most profitable changes from year-to-year. Growing different crops when irrigation is limited can reduce risk and increase profitability. Averaged across the past 8 years, corn has been the most profitable crop at higher irrigation amounts, while at the lowest irrigation level, profitability was similar for all crops.
