Subsurface Drip

Jilin Provincial Academy of Agricultural Machinery initiated studies in 2000 to develop the methodology for successful application of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) for corn production on the deep silt loam soils of the northeast plains, China. Irrigation water use for corn can be reduced by 37–52% when using SDI compared with more traditional forms of irrigation in the region. Irrigation frequency has not been a critical issue when SDI is used for corn production on the deep silt loam soils of the region. A dripline spacing of 1.5 m has been found to be most economical for corn grown in 0.76 m spaced rows. Nitrogen fertigation was a very effective management tool with SDI, helping to maximize corn grain yield, while obtaining high efficiencies of nitrogen and water use. The research SDI systems have been utilized since 2000 without replacement or major degradation. SDI systems lasting 10–20 years are cost competitive for corn production with the more traditional forms of irrigation in the northeast plains for certain field sizes.
