Title Water Reduction Using WW-B. Dahl Pastures to Produce Beef: Potential to Reduce Aquifer Irrigation and Sustain More Intensive Agriculture for Diverse Western Rangeland Conditions
Creator Ortega-Ochoa, Carlos
Description High rates of water withdrawal from the Ogallala aquifer threatens sustainability of various agricultural uses. Since rainfall patterns differ across many Western regions where beef grazing and combined beef and crop rotation practices prevail, locating grasses that meet high nutrition standards for beef while dramatically reducing water requirements (from irrigation of rainfall) under normal and drought conditions rises in importance. We present results of a two year study on 54 hectares...
