This publication provides a framework, general recommendations, and rationales to aid hybrid poplar growers interested in maximizing their land use and wood production through drip irrigation.

The effects of deficit irrigations and nitrogen rates on the yield and size distribution of 'Detroit Dark Red' table beets were investigated during 1985 and 1986. Beets were grown on a Chehalis silty clay loam (fine-silty, mixed , mesic Cumulic...

Recent advances in computer technology have made possible the development of expert systems. Expert systems are computer programs that perform at the level of a human expert. Expert systems can help integrate and apply diverse sources of...

In this work, we first introduce a novel approach to the long term irrigation scheduling using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). We explore the effectiveness of GAs in the context of optimizing nonlinear crop models and describe application requirements...

Effects of amount of applied water and frequency of irrigation on head rot and yield of three broccoli cultivars were evaluated in 1987 and 1988. Two irrigation frequencies were established with a line-source sprinkler system for 5.5 weeks during...

During 2 seasons effects of high and low irrigation (water applied at -0.6 and -2.5 bars soil water potential, respectively) and density were evaluated on yield parameters and flower/pod development at mainstem nodes 2 and 6 (terminal) of 'Oregon...

Soil moisture in a crop's root zone must be regularly monitored to accurately predict crop water requirements. Most irrigation scheduling services currently use the neutron probe to monitor soil moisture. Unfortunately, there is a degree of...

This publication focuses on using water analyses to choose appropriate water treatment and water management practices for irrigated agriculture. It will help determine: • What tests are needed to characterize water quality • How to collect water...

In the late 1980s, the U.S. Pacific Northwest potato industry faced a crisis. Potato tuber quality was inadequate to meet the needs of potato processing companies due to a condition called “sugar ends” or “dark ends” in fried tuber slices. This...

When water is plentiful, growers usually schedule irrigation practices around other farming activities. For example, most growers change furrow irrigation sets at 12- or 24-hour intervals because this timing is convenient and uses labor...

Proper irrigation, despite being one of the most important factors in maintaining a healthy lawn, is the most often overlooked variable in lawn care. This publication describes common turfgrass species, soil water holding capacity, irrigation...

More than 4.5 million acres in the Pacific Northwest are irrigated with electric-powered sprinkler systems. Center pivots are used on about 1.25 million acres. Irrigation runoff can be a problem on many of these sprinkler-irrigated fields.
1986-01 (iso8601)
Seedlings of Acacia senegal were grown in a glass greenhouse to study the effect of nitrogen and irrigation regimes on dry matter production and allocation to different plant organs, net photosynthesis per unit leaf area, and nitrogen content in...
