27-2022 Development of an Automated System to Incorporate Holes in Lay-Flat Irrigation Tubing During Initial Deployment in Mississippi Soybean Production Systems Annual Report

The adoption of Best Management Practices (BMPs) by producers in the Mississippi Delta is minimal. One technology that has been proven to reduce water usage and provide these positive economic impacts is the use of Computerized Hole Selection (CHS).  CHS determines the correct hole size for each individual furrow in a lay-flat irrigation pipe system by accounting for row length, inlet and required individual furrow flow, pipeline pressure and hydraulics, and crown elevation.
