Fertigating Furrow Irrigated Rice and Irrigation Water Management for Rice Growers

By Chris Henry, Associate Professor, Water Management Engineer

Chris Henry, associate professor and water management engineer, discusses the lessons learned and potential benefits of fertigating furrow irrigated rice with urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) and liquified urea. Topics include how often to irrigate and how the novel pitless tailwater recovery system can impact yield and water use. Dr. Henry also covers how farmers can use the Arkansas Irrigation Contest — aka “Most Crop per Drop” — to improve their yield, water footprint, labor demands and profitability.
