A study was designed to test the effectiveness of nitrogen and herbicide applications through soil moisture-controlled, trickle-irrigation systems, and to test the effectiveness of automatic irrigation via soil moisture control to minimize the water requirement and N-losses for high-frequency, trickle-irrigation systems. Results indicated that single or multiple applications of herbicide at recommended rates can be used effectively with trickle irrigation to control weeds in the potato row where cultivation is not possible. Nitrogen can be efficiently applied through a trickle system that features automatic soil moisture control through the use of a high-frequency irrigation schedule.
