Creator Ekern, Paul C.
Subject Sugarcane -- Irrigation -- Hawaii.
Description Water use by sprinkler irrigated sugarcane under flat-bed culture was measured in four 100 ft 2 by 5 ft deep hydraulically weighed lysimeters at the Kunia substation of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association. Nine-week-old one-eye cane transplants were set into a 5-foot grid in Molokai Low Humic Latosol on 27 October, 1968. Water use approached a 1:1 ratio with a conventional class A pan by late March, 1969 for a 3.5 leaf area index. Average values were 0.25 in/day for the midsummer months....
