Evaluating the impact of air via subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system through the incorporation of high efficiency venturi injectors, referred to as AirJection® Irrigation, has been the focus of our research over the past six years. Our major objective has been to assess the technical and economic feasibility of AirJection® Irrigation as a best management practice for various crops in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV). So far we have tested the technology on bell peppers, fresh market tomatoes, cantaloupes, honeydews, broccoli and sweet corn. Recent and on-going research has shown that AirJection® Irrigation can increase root zone aeration and add value to grower investments in SDI. For example, in Summer 2004, for cantaloupes grown on 20-acre plots, there was a 13% increase in the number of melons and a 18% increase in the weight of melons harvested due to air injection. The increases in yield and improvement in soil quality associated with the root zone aeration augers well for the adoption of AirJection® Irrigation primarily as tool for increasing crop productivity. The work conducted to date has been aimed at evaluating the AirJection® Irrigation on conventional farms. However, because AirJection® Irrigation uses ambient air, there exists the potential to use this system on organic farms. In our current research, we evaluate the efficacy of AirJection® Irrigation in organic vegetable production at California State University-Fresno. In addition to yield and fruit quality, future studies should focus on the impact of air injection on water use efficiency, soil respiration, insect/pest resistance and rooting characteristics of the various crops.
