InsidePTI S4•E15 | Subsurface Irrigation & Drainage Tile ‣ Corn

Did you know Drainage Tile has made our Top 10 list for the past two years here at the PTI Farm? It's true! However, is it possible to use drainage tile for more than just getting water away from the field? Is it possible to use drainage tile for irrigation as well? In today's video, Jason is walking through the data we've seen from exploring those questions.

I have tile every 100 foot with a tile gate at every outlet and hold water at 16 in under surface and netafim system at 14 in under surface 60 in apart. I have doubled my yields vs no netafim. I know my tile are way too far apart to gain from adding water to tile. I think the pti farm is great . You are doing a great job keeping us informed of your journey.

I thought you would do much better with that trial. Keep up the good work!

How do you think this system would work in a pasture? Would the perennial roots help with wicking the water upward, no matter the time of year? And how much more did the components cost per acre to allow you to irrigate with your tile drainage?
