Evapotranspiration and Soil Moisture-Fertilizer Interrelations With Irrigated Winter Wheat in the Southern High Plains (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Evapotranspiration and Soil Moisture-Fertilizer Interrelations With Irrigated Winter Wheat in the Southern High Plains Protein content of grain increased with high rates of applied nitrogen but decreased as yields were increased by irrigation at a given rate of nitrogen application. The results indicated that protein content of grain could be controlled within limits by controlling nitrogen application and con trolling grain yields by irrigation practices.

Winter Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Evapotranspiration (crop Water Use) and Crop Coefficients


Book Description

Winter wheat is an important commodity grain crop in the United States and globally, and the third major crop grown in Nebraska. From emergence to harvest, effective water management is important at each stage of wheat growth. Water use can vary substantially on a daily basis, depending on climatic conditions and wheat health. Winter wheat water use (evapotranspiration, ETc) depends on variety; growth stage; canopy and leaf structure; populatoin density; climatic conditions; and irrigation, soil, and crop management practices. This extension circular discusses the interannual variation in measured wheat ETc and presents measured grass- and alfalfa-reference crop coefficients (Kc) for each specific growth stage. Crop growth-specific crop coefficient tables were developed, which can be used in practical applications by wheat growers, their advisors, water management and agricultural agencies, and other professionals.
