Abstract

In North Dakota, irrigation is being developed 3 on large areas of coarse- and moderately coarse-textured soils underlain by shallow, nonsaline water tables (8)4. Thus, drainage is a part of ini­ tial irrigation development. Also, extensive areas of similar soils overlaying nonsaline aquifers are being privately developed for irri­ gation. High value crops such as sugarbeets (Beta vulgaris L.) are expected to be grown. Sugarbeets respond well to irrigation because they continue to grow in August and September when rainfall in North Dakota is very limited .
