The result from a two year field study on suitability of using subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) for Alfalfa provided some answers to alfalfa producers of Kansas. The study was set-up in a producer field for demonstration. The soil belongs to Otero-Ulysses complex and sandy loam in texture. The treatments included placement of drip tapes at (a) 1.5 M spacing at 0.46 and 0.30 M depth of placement, (b) 1.0 M spacing at 0.46 and 0.30 M depth, (c) 0.76 M spacing at 0.46 depth, and (d) a center pivot sprinkler irrigated plot seeded to alfalfa. Emergence of seedlings was adversely affected at 1.5 M spacing of drip tapes showing 'striping'. The total yield was reduced for spacing of drip tapes at 1.5 M in both 1999 and 2000. The depth of placement of the drip tapes (0.46 and 0.30 meters) showed no effect on yields.
