- The USDA Soil Drainage Research Unit deals with the effects of water table
management (drainage/controlled drainage/ subirrigation) and flooding tolerance
on corn and soybean crops in the Midwest region. Specific objects are develop
water table management strategies that minimize the impact of excess and
deficit soil water on year-to-year variability of crop yield, develop crop
varieties that are more tolerant of short periods of excess soil water and
determine the effect of subirrigation and controlled drainage water table
management systems on the movement and fate of agricultural chemicals.
