“…In contrast to Valero et al [123], field trials in Missouri have documented some significant benefits of reduced P loading [121,122] and increased corn and soybean production with controlled drainage [124,125]. In a 4-year study, controlled drainage was reported to reduce flow-weighted DRP concentrations by 0.06 mg L −1 compared to free drainage [121].…”

Best management practices (BMPs) are site-specific and their implementation, long-term management, and maintenance are important for successful reduction of phosphorus (P) loss into headwater streams. This paper reviews published research on managing P loss from agricultural cropping systems in the Midwestern United States and classified the available research based on BMPs and their efficacy in reducing P loss. This review paper also identifies the areas where additional research could provide insight for managing P losses. Our literature review shows that cover crops, reduced tillage, saturated buffers, and constructed wetlands are the most evaluated areas of current research. However, additional research is necessary on the site-specific area to measure the effectiveness of BMPs in managing P loss. The BMPs that serve as a sink of P need further evaluation in long-term field-scale trials. Studies evaluating adsorption and desorption mechanisms of P in surface and subsurface soils with materials or amendments that bind P in the soil are needed. The time required and pathways, where the flush of available P is lost or fixed in the soil matrix, need further investigation. Measured P loss from BMPs like bioreactors and saturated buffers supplemented with P adsorption materials or filters need to be simulated with models for their prediction and validation. Field evaluations of P index and critical source area concepts should be investigated for identifying problematic areas in the watersheds. Identification of overlapping areas of high P source and transport can help in strategic planning and layout, thereby resulting in reducing the cost of implementing BMPs at field and watershed scales.

“…Drainage water recycling research from farm ponds for crop production is limited. Long-term research on drainage water recycling is needed to demonstrate the economic benefit in terms of greater crop yields [124,125] and improved quality of discharged water from this practice [43,156].…”

“…In the Midwestern United States, free drainage or managed tile drainage systems that use a water table control structure have improved crop yields and reduced fertilizer loss through drainage water flow (Nash, Nelson, & Motavalli, 2015a; Nash, Nelson, Motavalli, & Anderson, 2015b). For example, on poorly drained claypan soils, use of integrated subsurface tile‐drained systems at 6.1‐ and 12.2‐m spacing between tile lines increased yields by 11–22% compared to nondrained plots (Nelson, 2017). Another study reported that use of tile‐drainage improved soil moisture conditions and allowed planting of soybean earlier by up to 17 d as well as increased soybean yields by 9–22% than nondrained control plots (Nelson et al., 2011a).…”

Impacts and management strategies for crop production in waterlogged or flooded soils: A review

Globally, flooding is one of the most damaging abiotic stresses, besides drought, that affects 17 million km 2 of land surface annually. Recent research indicates that climate change is resulting in more extreme weather events, such as flooding or soil waterlogging, that negatively affect crop production. Therefore, it is imperative to understand how flooding stress affects crops and to develop improved production practices that make cropping systems more resilient and able to cope with extreme weather events. This review paper summarizes the current state of knowledge on the impacts of flooding or soil waterlogging on crop production losses, nitrogen (N) losses, and provides potential management strategies to reduce these losses. The factors affecting the extent of flooding injury in plants as well as plant adaptations under waterlogging stress are also discussed briefly. For the purpose of this review, "flooding" refers to the situation when all or part of the plant is submerged under water, whereas "soil waterlogging" refers to the situation where soil pores are saturated with water. Soil waterlogging also promotes soil N losses through runoff, leaching, and denitrification. Potential management practices that can be used to mitigate soil waterlogging stress include the use of flood-tolerant varieties, adjusting management practices, improving drainage, and practicing adaptive nutrient management strategies. However, these might be site-or crop-specific management practices and they should be validated for their economic viability before developing future management plans that promote sustainable crop yields from waterlogged soils.Abbreviations: BMP, Best Management Practice; CDSI, controlled drainage and subirrigation; EEF, enhanced efficiency fertilizer; ET, evapotranspiration; Fv/Fm, ratio of variable fluorescence to material fluorescence; GIS, Geographic Information System; NBPT, N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide; NI, nitrification inhibitor; NUE, nitrogen use efficiency; PCU, polymer-coated urea; UI, urease inhibitors.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited and is not used for commercial purposes.

“…Depending on the landscape, availability of water, and soil properties, subsurface drainage systems can also be used to supply water to the crop through subirrigation, which can reduce loss of water due to evaporation and runoff compared to surface-applied irrigation systems. Differences in crop responses have been evaluated using direct measurements of crop yields (Nelson, 2017). Increased drainage intensity may be required for water removal or recommended to improve water distribution for subirrigation; however, increased drainage intensity may also affect vegetation production during dry summer months.…”

“…Crops experience a perched water table in the spring and fall, while drought conditions may limit crop production through the summer months. Soybean grain yield variability for drainage only (DO) and drainage plus subirrigation (DSI) was evaluated above the subsurface drain tile for two drain tile spacings over 30-year cultivar management systems (Nelson, 2017). Grain yields were greater with DO and DSI than with the non-drained control.…”

Abstract. This article introduces a special collection of fourteen articles accepted from among the 140 technical presentations, posters, and meeting papers presented at the 10th International ASABE Drainage Symposium. The symposium continued in the tradition of previous symposia that began in 1965 as a forum for presenting and assessing the progress of drainage research and implementation throughout the world. The articles in this collection address a wide range of topics grouped into five broad categories: (1) crop response, (2) design and management, (3) hydrology and scale, (4) modeling, and (5) water quality. The collection provides valuable information for scientists, engineers, planners, and others working on crop production, water quality, and water quantity issues affected by agricultural drainage. The collection also provides perspectives on the challenges of increasing agricultural production in a changing climate, with ever-greater attention to water quality and quantity concerns that will require integrated technical, economic, and social solutions. Keywords: ASABE Drainage Symposium, crop response, design and management, hydrology and scale, modeling, water quality.
