I am very happy that one of my Ph.D. students, Ali T. Mohammed, has received the Bill and Rita Stout Outstanding International Graduate Student Award. Congratulations, Ali! Proud of you!

Irmak Research Team Members at hard work, measuring infiltration rates using double-ring, single-ring, and mini-disk ilfiltrometers. Our new research and education grant will continue investigating impact(s) of 19 different cover crop systems on over 20 soil quality variables.

Our two recent papers investigated drought-tolerant maize hybrids’ yield, crop evapotranspiration, basal evapotranspiration & water use efficiency response to 3 planting population densities, 3 irrigation levels in 4 climates. doi.org/10.13031/aea.1… and doi.org/10.13031/aea.1….

Our new paper from Suat Irmak Lab in IOP Environment benchmarks historical "Irrigation Limited Yield Gaps" in the US agriculture post-1950. See #OpenAccess full paper at bit.ly/2Lz4Nb1 Some highlights are presented in the thread below:

Congratulations to Dr. Ali Mohammed! Ali’s advice for future students is to “Take the advantage that you are in the one of the big ten universities and work hard to earn your degree so you will be proud of yourself for the rest of your life” Nebraska Engineering #gobiggrad #graduation

Happy and proud that my graduate students (Ali T. Mohammed-Ph.D. and Trevor A. Hinn-MS) are graduating today! Congratulations Ali and Trevor! Ali worked on coupled water and nitrogen use dynamics with maize and Trevor on soybean variable rate irrigation. Best wishes! Nebraska Biological Systems Engineering

Thank you very much Meetpal 😊😊😊

Irmak Research Lab. members Sevgi Saylak, Drs. A. Mohammed and R. Sandhu are working hard on phenotyping, water stress, evapotranspiration, water productivity of different sunflowers lines, maize, soybean, sorghum. Ali T.

BSE irrigation engineering researchers have been collaborating with Irriga Global and AgriThority on an irrigation scheduling app in Nebraska. The research analyzes irrigation application on a cornfield in one of the @NebENREC research facilities.

The 2023 CPIA Conference will help producers maximize investments with presentations on pivot performance, sensors, drones, cover crop and residue management, chemigation and more. Take a look at the lineup of speakers & presentations! Register at bit.ly/3HNJfV3

A great variety of speakers and topics at Day 1 of the CPIA Conference today. Looking forward to more learning and networking tomorrow!

The Irrigation and Agricultural Water Management group spent the week in Kearney at the Central Plains Irrigation Conference! Learn more about the IAWM educational programs: bse.unl.edu/irrigation

Meeting some good old friends at the #ASABE annual meeting in Omaha. Vivek Sharma Ali T. Mohammed

Post-Doctoral Research Associate, Ali Mohammed Ph.D, updated us on his work at #ASABE23 Mohammed's talk was titled, "Coupled impacts of irrigation amounts and nitrogen fertilization timing on maize yield response factors under different irrigation methods in Nebraska" Good work!

In our new paper, we investigated the effects of irrigation and nitrogen (N) on yield, ET, N uptake efficiency, partial factor productivity of N, and N use efficiency of maize under center pivot, subsurface drip and gravity irrigation simultaneously. doi.org/10.1002/ird.28….

In a new paper, we investigated the effects of irrig. and nitrogen (N) on yield, ET, N uptake efficiency, partial factor productivity of N, and N use efficiency of maize under center pivot, SDI and gravity irrig. simultaneously. doi.org/10.1002/ird.28….

Dr. Derek Heeren and Dr. Ali Mohammed hosted Grupo Río Sico, an agronomy group from the Northern part of Córdoba, Argentina, in Chase Hall today. They discussed irrigation research and toured BSE labs.
