Water Production Functions and Predicted Irrigation Programs for Principal Crops as Required for Water Resources Planning and Increased Water Use Efficiency.

摘要

1973was a 'payoff'year in that procedures developed with corn in the 1969-72period enabled gathering of all desired data for pinto beans in the single year,as well as finalizing our information for grain sorghum. Alfalfa studies constituted our first year with a perennial crop having an established root system. Nevertheless,this experiment also provided information useful for practical water use planning. Principal developments for pinto beans,grain sorghum,and (earlier) corn are given.
