    • Irrigation Water Quality 
      McFarland, Mark L.; Lemon, Robert G.; Stichler, Charles (2002-04-11)
      Irrigation water quality is determined by the total amounts of salts and the types of salts the water contains. In this publication you'll learn why well water can be salty, what problems salty water can cause, what tests ...
    • Irrigation Water Quality Standards and Salinity Management Strategies 
      Fipps, Guy (2003-04-30)
      This publication contains guidelines for determining whether water is suitable for irrigation and explains how water is classified by the type and degree of salinity problems it poses. Methods of alleviating these problems ...
    • Maintaining Subsurface Drip Irrigation Systems 
      Enciso, Juan; Porter, Dana; Bordovsky, Jim; Fipps, Guy (2004-09-07)
      A subsurface drip irrigation system should last more than 20 years if properly maintained. Important maintenance procedures include cleaning the filters, flushing the lines, adding chlorine and injecting acids. Details of ...

    • Optimal grain sorghum irrigation strategies in a dynamic, stochastic environment 
      Zavaleta, Luis R. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)
      Agricultural production and associated economic effects of irrigation on the Texas High Plains are seriously threatened by a rapidly declining groundwater supply and a swift upward trend in energy costs. To optimize the ...
    • Propeller Flow Meter 
      Enciso, Juan; Santistevan, Dean; Hla, Aung K. (2007-10-01)
      Propeller flow meters are commonly used to measure water flow rate. They can also be used to estimate irrigation water use. This publication explains how to select, install, read and maintain propeller flow meters.

    • Response of the Heliothis virescens (F.) larvae to nitrogen fertilization and irrigation inputs in cotton 
      Teague, Tina Gray (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)
      When high inputs of nitrogen (N) fertilizer and irrigation are used in cotton production, variation in quantity and quality of the crop as food for insect herbivores can result. Field studies were conducted in 1983-85 to ...
    • Soil water transfer within the root zone by cotton plants resulting from differences in soil water potential 
      Baker, John Morgan (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)
      A growth chamber experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that an unirrigated plant could survive if its root system overlapped with irrigated plants on either side. A box 1.8 m long, 0.2 m deep, and 0.24 m front ...
    • The Effects of Irrigation with Wastewater on Soil Properties, Plant Response, and Accumulation of Heavy Metals 
      Ozdemir, Mesut (2021-12-02)
      As the world’s population has increased, the importance of water sources and wastewater recycling has reached a critical level due to expanding consumption. Concurrently, some available soil is being degraded due to the ...
