A microirrigation trial to evaluate sweet corn irrigation scheduling models was continued at the Western Research Farm (silt loam with AWC of 2.6 inch/foot), Castana. The seeding arrangement involved twin rows, 18 inches apart, with in-row spacing at 12 inches and with 2 plants per position. Center to center of the raised beds was 6 feet. Plant population was approximately 29,000 plants per acre. Trickle irrigation tubing (T-tape 508, delivering 0.34 gpm/100 feet) was placed down the center of each bed or 9 inches from each row.
