Irrigation systems for research farms |

| Paul V. Hartley | March 1996 |
| Abstract. Irrigation is as old as civilization. Irrigation supplements the water available from rainfall and ground water. The real value of irrigation is not so much in preventing a total crop loss as in getting maximum yield. If irrigation is for profit, the increase in crop value due to irrigation must be equal to, or more than the cost of the irrigation system. Only good management practices bring good results. |
