Given:
Silty Clay Loam Soil Soil Depth = 3 feet AWC = 0.20 in/in from 0 to 24 inches of soil depth 0.10 in/in from 24 to 36 inches of soil depth Managed Crop Rooting Depth = 4 feet
What is the total plant available soil water capacity for the crop being grown?
MAD is defined as the percentage of the available soil water that can be depleted between irrigations without serious plant moisture stress. MAD is expressed as: a percentage of the total Plant Available Water Capacity (AWC), a soil-water deficit (SWD) in inches, or an allowable soil-water tension level.
Fa = Net Irrigation Application in inches MAD = Moisture Allowed Depletion in percent(50% for Corn Silage) Plant AWC = PlantAvailable Water Capacity of soils (6 inches)
Fa =
where:
Q = flow rate (gpm) A = area (acres) d = gross application depth (in) f = irrigation frequency (days) H = hours of operation per day
where:
d = Gross application, inches Fa = Net application, inches Ea = Application efficiency of the irrigation system
Application Efficiency
50-70% 50-80% 50-90% 40-60% 60-85% 50-75% 55-77% 75-88% 80-90% 85-90%
d=
d = 5 inches
where:
Q = flow rate (gpm) A = area to be irrigated is 40 acres d = gross application depth is 5 inches f = irrigation frequency (days) H = hours of operation per day
where:
MAD = Management Allowed Depletion (%). Plant AWC = Plant Available Water Capacity (inches). Daily ETc = Daily Evapotranspiration or Consumptive Use for the crop being grown (inches/day).
f =
f = 13 Days

where:
Q = flow rate (gpm) A = area to be irrigated is 40 acres d = gross application depth is 5.0 inches f = irrigation frequency is 13 days H = 16 hours of operation per day is desired by the client.
An irrigation scheduling tool needs only be accurate enough to determine how much water to apply and when. A good rule of thumb to follow when developing an irrigation scheduling tool is to keep it simple and easy for the client to understand.
