Late fall irrigation rules depend on crop and soil type
Kansas State University extension irrigation engineer Lynn R. Shuler says the latest date to apply irrigation in fall varies with crop maturity and soil texture. Corn and grain sorghums need less water after hard dough or soft dough stages, while alfalfa may require late irrigation to survive winter. soil texture, especially sandy soils, affects moisture available and may require one more irrigation to reach maturity.

Tomatoes in Fall Rebound After Hot July Setback
Kansas State University horticulturist Dr. J. K. Greig reports July heat blocked fruit set in tomatoes but cool fall weather could yield a strong crop. Some fruit may not mature before frost, so harvest decisions depend on disease presence and ripening potential. Green tomatoes can be sold as green wraps and stored. ripening is aided by darkness and specific temperatures. Check plants regularly and store tomatoes in one or two layers to extend shelf life.
