UK To Host Irrigation Workshop


Food and Environment will host a Kentucky Irrigation Workshop Feb. 19 at UK’s Re- search and Education Center in Princeton. During the work-


T


shop, scientists with the UK Grain and For- age Center of Excel- lence


and the


Kentucky Geological Survey will share their most recent research results from their irri- gation-related studies in row crops. They also would like to discuss possibilities for future research in this area with workshop partici- pants. “Even though we


have been doing irriga- tion research for at least five years, we feel like we are just begin- ning as well,” said Chad Lee, director of the Grain and Forage Center of Excellence. “We think we have some good results to share with growers and consultants, but we hope to learn from them also.” Participants will hear


from scientists about results on the follow- ing research projects: corn, soybean and water demands and the need for irrigation in Kentucky; a sum- mary of center-pivot systems in Western Kentucky and underly- ing variables; an on- farm study on soil spatial variability and its implications for variable-rate


irriga-


tion; and testing irriga- tion schedules in wet summers. The half-day work-


shop begins at 8:30 a.m. CST with registra- tion and concludes with lunch at noon. Kentucky Farm Bu- reau is sponsoring the workshop. To register, please
