An Investigation of the Return Flow from Irrigated Land
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1974-09)
Recent trends in agricultural have lead to the intensification of crop production in areas with long growing seasons and ample solar radiation. Unfortunately, these areas also often have limited water supplies, and the ...
Determining the Transpiration Rate of Peach Trees Under Two Trickle Irrigation Regimes
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-12)
The scientific design and management of a modern irrigation system requires that the designer or manager have knowledge of site and plant criteria such as infiltration, drainage, soil fertility, plant water needs, and plant ...
Improved Water and Nutrient Management Through HighFrequency Irrigation
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1981-03)
High frequency irrigation implies the uniform, frequent application of water to crops. The fequency may range from several irrigations per week to daily irrigation to even several irrigations per day in greenhouse and ...
The Influence of Trickle Irrigation on the Quality of Irrigation Return Flow
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1976-03)
The influence of trickle irrigation on the quality of irrigation return flow was investigated in a field study and by means of computer simulation models. Six undisturbed buried monolith lysimeters were utilized to quantify ...
Response of Peanuts to Irrigation Management at Different Crop Growth Stages
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-12)
Past irrigation research on peanuts has shown that when the plant is exposed to soil moisture stress at different crop growth stages, different responses seem to exist between the Spanish and the Florunner peanut varieties. ...
Comparison of Methods for Determining Soil Hydraulic Characteristics
(Texas Water Resources Institute, 1980-12)
An adequate description of soil moisture movement is necessary for solution of agriculturally oriented problems such as irrigation, drainage and runoff control. Three approaches for determining the hydraulic properties of ...
