What is Measured and Simulated Soil Water Redistribution and Extraction Patterns of Drip-irrigated Tomatoes Above a Shallow Water Table about?

In Florida, the greatest use of fresh water resources is for supplemental irrigation of agricultural crops. Because of increasing competition for the consumptive use of this water, there has been a rapid increase in the use of micro irrigation, and in particular, line source drip irrigation systems which are increasingly being used to irrigate high case value crops such as fruits, vegetable, and ornamentals. Throughout Florida, vegetables are often grown on mulched beds in soils that commonly require irrigation even if they are subject to naturally occurring high water tables. The contribution of high water tables to soil water extracted by agricultural crops had not been accurately determined, especially in combination with line source drip irrigation systems. This soil-plant-water relationship problem lent itself well to a study conducted in lysimeters. A set of six rain-sheltered field lysimeters was developed to simulate these conditions. Each drainage lysimeter contained a water table regulation device and was irrigated with a line source drip irrigation system. Soil pressure potential data were collected continuously using a microcomputer-based tensiometer-pressure transducer
