    • Comparison of Methods for Determining Soil Hydraulic Characteristics 
      Howell, T. A.; McFarland, M. J.; Reddell, D. L.; Brown, K. W.; Newton, R. J.; Humphreys, K. B. (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 ...
    • Decidous fruits and pecans 
      McFarland, M. J.; Stein, Larry A.; Worthington, J. W. (Texas A & M University. Libraries, 1987)
    • Determining the Transpiration Rate of Peach Trees Under Two Trickle Irrigation Regimes 
      Howell, T. A.; McFarland, M. J.; Reddell, D. L.; Brown, K. W.; Newton, R. J.; Rodriguez, P. B.; Van Bavel, C. H. M.; Reeder, E. L. (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 ...
    • Effect of carbon dioxide enrichment on diffusive resistance for gas exchange, water use, and water use efficiency of greenhouse tomatoes 
      Shaer, Yacoub Adib (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)
      Three adjacent ventilated mini-greenhouses (MGH) made of clear polyethylene film, transmitting natural solar radiation, were enclosed in a conventional inflated polyethylene greenhouse. In each MGH, an equal number of ...
    • Improved Water and Nutrient Management Through HighFrequency Irrigation 
      Howell, T. A.; Brown, K. W.; Newton, R. J.; Redden, D. L.; McFarland, M. J. (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 ...
    • Management of Trickle Irrigated Orchards for Increased Water Use Efficiency 
      Punthakey, J. F.; McFarland, M. J.; Rodrigue, P. B.; Worthington, J. W. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 1982-08)
      Trickle irrigation is the most efficient method of irrigating peach orchards in Texas. With a trickle irrigation system, a producer may make full use of a limited or low-volume water supply to apply precise amounts of water ...
    • Nonpoint Source Phosphorus From Grazinglands 
      Evers, Gerald Wayne; Haby, Vincent A.; Jones, R.; McFarland, M. J.; Muir, J.; Rouquette, F. M., Jr.; Vietor, D. M. (Texas A & M University. Libraries, 2000)
    • Plant Responses of Drip Irrigated Trees to Climate and Water Stress 
      Punthakey, J. F.; McFarland, M. J.; Rodrigue, P. B.; Worthington, J. W. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 1982-08)
      Past irrigation research has shown that peach (prunus persica) trees vary in their field response to water stress, and the degree of stress is a function of the plants' environment. Water deficits reduce plant growth and ...
    • Response of Peanuts to Irrigation Management at Different Crop Growth Stages 
      Howell, T. A.; McFarland, M. J.; Reddell, D. L.; Brown, K. W.; Newton, R. J.; Dahmen, P. (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. ...
