“…On the other hand, it seems that the moderate water stress increased the root activity to capture any available soil moisture. Rijal et al (2012) reported 16 and 7% higher ET for corn and soybean grown in subsurface drained fields than in un-drained fields in 2009 and 2010, respectively. P -precipitation, I -irrigation, ET -evapotranspiration, E -evaporation, T -transpiration, S -change in storage, DP -deep percolation.…”

“…With potential SI in mind, the sump pump was designed to carry the water for the entire 44 ha field with typical 18.3 m tile drainage space. From our preliminary studies (Scherer and Jia, 2010;Jia et al, 2012;Rijal et al, 2012), it was concluded that it was challenging to subirrigate the entire field with one main drain due to the high surface elevation difference across the field and the layout of the tile drainage system. As indicated by Jia et al (2012), the sump pump and the main were located at higher elevations than the laterals because of the outlet location.…”

“…However, E a+ET above 100% indicates possible inaccurate measurements. This could be due to overlooking the upward flux from the shallow ground water (Yang et al, 2007), overestimation of crop ET (Rijal et al, 2012), or non-uniformity of ET and rain distribution in the field. This could also be caused by inaccurate measurement of soil bulk density and soil water contents.…”

“…Three additional methods for the ET estimates, namely Rijal et al (2012), Kolars (2016), and eddy covariance, were used to evaluate the SI system performance. Table 4 shows the details of the performance with different ET estimates.…”

“…Table 4 shows the details of the performance with different ET estimates. New corn and soybean crop coefficients were developed for southeastern ND by Rijal et al (2012) using eddy covariance calculated ET and ASCE-EWRI alfalfa reference method for reference ET (Allen et al, 2005). Total ET was estimated to be 34 mm using the monthly soybean crop coefficients of 0.76 and 0.66 from the July and August testing period.…”

Drainage water recycling (DWR) involves capture, storage, and reuse of surface and subsurface drainage water as irrigation to enhance crop production during critical times of the growing season. Our objectives were to synthesize 53 site-years of data from 1996 to 2017 in the midwestern United States to determine the effect of DWR using primarily subirrigation on corn (Zea mays L.) grain yield and yield variability and to identify precipitation factors at key stages of corn development (V1-V8, V9-VT, R1-R2, R3-R4, and R5-R6) that correlated to an increase in yield with DWR. A generalized additive model was used to quantify and characterize the relationship between precipitation and corn grain yield during corn development stages and to determine if that relationship differed between DWR and free drainage (FD). Corn yield response to precipitation was generally similar between DWR and FD, except during the critical period of V9-R2, in which DWR was more resilient to precipitation extremes than FD. Drainage water recycling was generally more responsive than FD in years with low and normal precipitation (<181 mm). When precipitation was low (27-85 mm) from V9 to R2, DWR had higher yields (77% of the site-years evaluated), with an average yield increase of 3.6 Mg ha −1 (1.2-7.5 Mg ha −1 ). Overall, FD had 28% greater yield variability than DWR. Additional research is needed on DWR impacts on different soils and locations throughout this region to improve the stability of corn yields and to develop automated DWR systems for enhancing efficiency of water management with increasing climate variability.
