CTC Waterworks equipment has been used in university and extension research focused on irrigation water quality, soil pH, and high-value crops.
Far West Texas Cotton
In calcareous soil regions with salinity and sodicity challenges, acidified irrigation water was tested as part of a comprehensive management program that included realistic leaching and drainage planning.
One year; multi-year needed
Hermiston Organic Blueberries / Calcareous Soil
Researchers established an organic northern highbush blueberry planting on sandy, calcareous soil with high-pH irrigation water to study soil pH management and organic input strategies.
Real-world context for pH-sensitive, high-value crops
Research is context-dependent. What works in one trial reflects specific water chemistry, soil conditions, crop requirements, and management practices. Outcomes depend on operating constraints that may or may not match your situation.
CTC helps evaluate fit using water and soil data. We look at bicarbonate levels, pH, salinity, sodicity indicators, drainage reality, and irrigation method to determine whether acidified irrigation makes sense for your operation.
These research examples show what's possible when conditions align—not what's guaranteed everywhere.
