Subsurface Irrigation. Increased Yield, Quality and Water Use Efficiency of Alfalfa

The objectives of this project were to develop crop-specific guidelines for Best Management Practices of subsurface irrigation systems for alfalfa, including system design criteria, identifying optimal irrigation and fertigation practices, crop water use and soil salinity patterns under SDI systems and developing crop coefficients for use with standard state-provided reference evapotranspiration.
