Irrigation and Tillage Effects on Peanut Yield in Virginia1

Abstract: During crop years 1980–1983, a field study was conducted in southeastern Virginia on a Norfolk loamy fine sand soil to evaluate the effect of irrigation, underrow ripping, and seedbed preparation methods on peanut yields. The seedbeds were prepared conventionally (flat), with a rotary tiller and bed shaper, with a disk bedder, and with a rolling cultivator. Irrigation increased peanut yield only for crop year 1980 peanuts when there was a severe drought. Irrigation decreased yields for the other 3 years when r… Show more

“…Irrigation generally increases peanut yield when disease is controlled (Porter and Wright, 1987). However, disease incidence often increases under irrigation, and benefits of increased yield can be minimized due to increased incidence of noncontrolled disease (Rotem and Palti, 1969; Wright et al, 1986). Increased moisture on the soil surface and humidity in the peanut canopy following overhead irrigation can increase incidence of Sclerotinia blight ( Sclerotinia minor ), pod rot ( Pythium myriotylum ), and leaf spots ( Cercospora arachidicola and Cercosporidium personatum ) (Wright et al, 1986).…”
