Technical Abstract: Irrigated acreage for crop production in Georgia increased from 175,000 acres in 1970 to 1,450,000 in 2000. The majority of the increase was planted in peanuts, corn, and cotton. In 1970, these crops accounted for 100,000 of Georgia's irrigated acreage and in 2000 these crops totaled 1,150,000 irrigated acres. Simultaneously, demand for water resources due to urban expansion and interstate litigation coupled with repeated drought are collectively threatening irrigation water supplies in Southeast U.S. peanut producing regions. A study was conducted during the 2001-2003 crop years to quantify the impact of reduced irrigation amounts and different crop rotation sequences including peanut, corn, and cotton. On average, irrigated peanut pod yield was significantly increased by 808 lb a-1 compared to non-irrigated yield. The affect of crop rotation on peanut yield was also significant. One year out of peanuts, in either corn or cotton, significantly increased irrigated peanut yield an average of 956 lb a-1 over continuous peanut. Two years out of peanuts, in either corn or cotton, significantly increased irrigated peanut yield an average of 2081 lb a-1 over continuous peanut. In non-irrigated peanuts, crop rotation sequence had less affect on pod yield than did precipitation during the growing season.
