We have had some warmer days
recently, but that is a relative term.
Night temperatures are still dropping fairly low and we have not had a
solid warming trend to pull our area soil temperatures up substantially. I have noted this week several area potential
cotton fields receiving a last dose of pre-irrigations, and unfortunately, some
re-pre-irrigations to better wet the seed zone.
In these situations we can expect the soil temperature will hold at the
irrigation water’s temperature for a few days longer, even when a substantial
warming trend begins. This morning I
took two soil readings at 7:45 AM.
-
61°F.
Four miles north of Kress, Texas.
Potential cotton / dry topsoil, wet subsoil via recent irrigations /
plowed / drip irrigated.
-
61° F.
Four miles north of Kress, Texas.
Potential cotton / moist topsoil / plowed / furrow irrigated.
Please call if I
can be of assistance.
