UCANR Irrigation Publications UC ANR Irrigation Publications Publications can be ordered in our UCCE Offices or at the UCANR Publications website: http://anrcatalog.ucdavis.edu/ Please use our UCCE Central Sierra Promotion Code: PRTUM55 Chemigation in Tree and Vine Microirrigation Systems, ANR Publication #21599 This guide will help you take full advantage of your orchard or vineyard's microirrigation system. Learn how the application of chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, and soil amendments can be injected through your system for uniform application. Cost Comparison between Electric Motors and Engines for Irrigation Pumping, ANR Publication # 1933 Using this publication, growers can compare potential costs to operate and maintain alternative power sources for irrigation pumping: electric motors and diesel, propane, or natural gas engines. Drip Irrigation, ANR Publication #2740 Fertigation with Microirrigation, ANR Publication #21620 Fertigation is the process of applying fertilizer through an irrigation system by injecting the fertilizer into the irrigation water. Microirrigation can apply water and chemicals in precise amounts and locations through a field. Irrigation Pumping Plants, ANR Publication #3377 This manual answers growers' most frequent questions about irrigation pumping plants, from the basics to detailed information on pump design, performance tests, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Irrigation Scheduling: A Guide for Efficient On-farm Water Management, ANR Publication #21454 How to measure soil, atmospheric, crop, and irrigation factors to determine the most efficient irrigation schedule. Maintaining Microirrigation Sustems, ANR Publication #21637 (EPUB also available) This handy publication discusses the maintenance issues of microirrigation systems that can be used on tree crops, row crops, and trees and vines. The University of California working in cooperation with County Government and the United States Department of Agriculture. The University of California Division of Agriculture & Natural Resources (ANR) prohibits discrimination or harassment of any person in any of its programs or activities (Complete nondiscrimination policy statement can be found at http://ucanr.edu/sites/anrstaff/files/176835.pdf).

Micro-Irrigation of Trees and Vines, ANR Publication #3378 Covers all types of microirrigation-microsprinkler, surface drip, and subsurface drip, with information on emitters, pumps, valves, and flow meters; designing the best system; wetting patterns and pressure loss; and routine maintenance. Monitoring Soil Moisture for Irrigation Water Management, ANR Publication #21635 Monitoring soil moisture is an alternate method to water-based balance methods of managing irrigation water. Using this method you can “see” what is going on in the soil and determine answers to some key irrigation management questions. Reducing Runnoff from Irrigation Lands – free downloadable series: Causes and Management of Runnoff, ANR Publication # 8214 Minimizing runoff from surface irrigation is a balance between adequate irrigation and tailwater runoff. This publication discusses how surface runoff can occur and management methods that can minimize the amount of water leaving a property. Erodibility of Agriculture Soils, ANR Publication # 8194 Soil erosion is a major cause of water quality degradation. Included is an introduction to the properties of soil that influence its erodibility and an explanation of soil properties that you can manage to minimize erosion. Managing Existing Sprinkler ANR Publication # 8215 If you experience runoff from an existing sprinkler-irrigated orchard, changing the design and set-up of the sprinkler system, the management of the sprinkler system, or the management of the orchard floor may reduce the amount. Measuring Irrigation Flows in a Pipeline ANR Publication # 8213 Minimizing the application of excess water requires knowing when and how much water to apply. Flow measurement is most easily done in a pipeline; this publication describes the four most commonly used flowmeters, their maintenance, and uses. Orchard Floor Management Practices, ANR Publication # 8202 Water-induced erosion carries valuable soil out of orchards and into downstream waterways, where it can cause serious problems. Learn how to keep your soil where it will do you the most good. Soil Intake Rates and Applications, ANR Publication #8216 Matching the sprinkler application rate to the soil intake rate is difficult and complex. This publication discusses three approaches to determine the design application rate of a sprinkler irrigation system to the soil intake rate.
