SUMMARY:Summer Crops/OAP Center Pivot Irrigation Field Day (Bushland\, TX)
DESCRIPTION:(Info adapted from TX A&M events posting) \nA Summer Crops/​Ogallala Aquifer Program Center Pivot Irrigation Field Day will be hosted by Texas A&M AgriLife and the U.S. Department of Agriculture-​Agricultural Research Service Aug. 9 at the Conservation and Production Research Laboratory in Bushland\, TX. \nThe event is free and will begin at 8 a.m. with registration in Texas A&M AgriLife Research’s new equipment storage barn. Attendees should come to the research farm\, located 1 mile west of Bushland on the south side of Interstate 40\, where there will be further directions to the event site. Following a welcome\, buses will load at 8:45 a.m. for the morning tours. \nTour stop topics will include: \n– Advanced center pivot control system with integrated inputs\, Thomas Marek\, AgriLife Research agricultural engineer\, Amarillo. \n– Multi-​level evapotranspiration or ET production function research with three field crops\, Xue. \n– Soil sensor comparisons under different irrigation levels\, Marek. \n– Site-​specific irrigation scheduling with sensor feedback\, Dr. Susan O’Shaughnessy\, USDA-​ARS agricultural engineer-​irrigation automation\, Bushland. \n– Sprinkler design and nozzle maintenance\, Dr. Danny Rogers\, KSU Extension agricultural engineer\, Manhattan\, Kansas. \n– Impact of zebra chip disease on crop water-​use efficiency in potatoes\, Jordan Trees\, AgriLife Research graduate student\, Amarillo. \n– Turfgrass irrigation practices: Making every drop count\, Dr. Gary Marek\, USDA-​ARS agricultural engineer. \n– Overview of vegetable research goals for High Plains producers\, Dr. Charlie Rush\, AgriLife Research plant pathologist\, Amarillo. \n– Optimizing water use in vegetable production systems\, Dr. Paul Colaizzi\, USDA-​ARS research agricultural engineer\, Bushland. \n– Plant physiological measurements to optimize water use in vegetables\, Dr. Tony Rho\, AgriLife Research postdoctoral research associate\, Amarillo. \n– Pest management in vegetable production systems\, Dr. Ada Szczepaniec\, AgriLife Research entomologist\, Amarillo. \n– Mobile drip irrigation performance\, Dr. Jonathan Aguilar\, KSU Extension water resource engineer\, Garden City\, Kansas. \n– Applications of variable rate irrigation technology\, Dr. Freddie Lamm\, KSU research irrigation engineer\, Colby\, Kansas\, and Dr. Dana Porter\, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service program leader for engineering\, Lubbock. \nThe lunch program will feature a “History of Sprinkler Irrigation on the Texas High Plains” presentation by Jim Bordovsky\, AgriLife Research senior research scientist and engineer\, Lubbock/​Halfway. \nFollowing lunch\, a special session for future vegetable growers will take place at the USDA-​ARS facilities. \n \n
