Miyamoto, S. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2007-01)Pecans, along with Almonds and Walnuts, are among the salt sensitive tree crops currently grown under irrigation. Yet, many growers are not convinced that salts are affecting yields, probably because symptoms ...
-
Miyamoto, S.; Martinez, I.; Niu, G. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-08)The concentrate from nanofiltration is usually enriched with divalent ions, such as Ca, Mg and SO4. Since divalent ions are less hazardous to soils and plants, it was hypothesized that the disposal of nanofiltration ...

Miyamoto, S.; Fenn, L. B.; Swietlik, D. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 1995)There are increasing concerns that water quality of the Rio Grande (or Rio Bravo) may be deteriorating mainly due to the recent expansion of the maquilas program and associated population relocation into the Border area. ...

Picchioni, Geno Anthony (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Rootstocks which restrict uptake of toxic elements, such as Na, Cl, and boron (B), may increase resistance of grafted trees to salt and B stresses. The objectives of this study were to evaluate i) growth, ion uptake, and ...
-
Miyamoto, S. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2002-03)The book describes the performance of pecan trees; water testing; determining how water quality may affect tree growth; improving drainage; selecting an irrigation system, and water conditioning to manage nutrients. It ...
-
Miyamoto, S.; Anand, Shilpa; Hatler, Will (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-05)The Middle Pecos River between Malaga, New Mexico, and Girvin, Texas, is known for high salinity. Streamflow salinity during the last decade (1991-2000), for example, averaged 3,500 and 6,150 mg L-1 at Malaga and at the ...

Miyamoto, S.; Yuan, Fasong; Anand, Shilpa (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2006-04)Amistad International Reservoir is located at the Texas–Mexico border, and is fed by four main tributaries: the middle Rio Grande (MRG), the Pecos, the Devil’s, and the Rio Conchos from Mexico (Fig. 1). This reservoir ...
-
Miyamoto, S. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-05)Winter returnflow has not been fully utilized for crop irrigation in the El Paso Valley. There are, however, emerging interests in utilizing it for urban water supply through desalting. This study examined the potential ...
-
Miyamoto, S.; Yuan, Fasong; Anand, Shilpa (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2006)The Pecos River of southeastern New Mexico and west Texas is among the saltiest rivers in North America with streamflow salinity regularly exceeding 7,000 mg L-1 at the New Mexico and Texas border, and eventually exceeding ...
-
Miyamoto, S. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2012-10-25)This study was conducted to assess soil salinity levels in large landscape areas, such as golf courses, parks, and school grounds which were developed on various soil types in El Paso, Texas. The survey encompassed the ...

Miyamoto, S.; Davis, J.; Madrid, L. (Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1990)
-
Miyamoto, S. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2008-05)With sharply increasing costs of providing potable water, many communities in the Southwest are attempting to utilize non-potable saline water for irrigating large landscapes. This publication provides the information ...

Miyamoto, S. (Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1988)
-
Miyamoto, S. (Texas Water Resources Institute, December 2)With increasing population and the demand for potable water, water with elevated salinity and reclaimed water are now commonly used for irrigating urban landscape in many communities in the arid Southwest. It not only saves ...
-
Miyamoto, S. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2010-07)In the publication prepared in 2006 with the above title (TWRI. TR-287), we described ways to diagnose salt problems which affect irrigated production of pecans. We also discussed the concepts of minimizing soil ...
-
Miyamoto, S. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2010-12)Soil types (texture and profile configuration), soil salinity, sodicity, subsoil drainage, and fluctuating high water tables, have the pronounced effect on tree performance in pecan orchards established in alluvial soils. ...
-
Miyamoto, S.; Yuan, Fasong; Anand, Shilpa (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2007-01)Red Bluff is the main reservoir of the Pecos River in Texas, and its maximum storage capacity adjusted to sediment accumulation is estimated at 357 million m3 (289,600 acre-ft.). Aside from the shortage of water entering ...
-
Miyamoto, S. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2012-10-05)Soil sodicity is known to affect soil structural stability and permeability. However, the impact differs depending on salinity of irrigation water, soil types as well as irrigation management practices. This study examined ...
