Book Requirements for Grain Sorghum Irrigation on the High Plains

Download or read book Requirements for Grain Sorghum Irrigation on the High Plains written by Norris Palmer Swanson and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irrigation research was conducted with grain sorghum on the optimum use of underground water resources at the Amarillo and Lubbock Experiment Station and on off-station plots during the past several years. Highest returns in pounds of grain per inch of water are received when grain sorghum is supplied with adequate moisture from planting to the soft dough stage. High-moisture levels are the most profitable; if the irrigation water supply becomes inadequate, the acreage to which water is applied shoud be reduced. A grain sorghum crop can be produced with a preplanting irrigation alone in very dry years when dryland crops are complete failures. Nitrogen fertilizers can be used to advantage with proper water management and will provide yeilds of 5,000 pounds or more of grain per acre.

Book Groundwater Exploitation in the High Plains

Download or read book Groundwater Exploitation in the High Plains written by David E. Kromm and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the forty years since the invention of center pivot irrigation, the Nigh Plains aquifer system has been depleted at an astonishing rate. Is the region now in danger of becoming the Great American Desert? In this volume eleven of the most knowledgeable scholars and water professionals in the Great Plains insightfully examine the dilemmas of groundwater use. They address both the technical problems and the politics of water management, providing a badly needed analysis of the implications of large-scale irrigation.

Book Economics of Water Management for Cotton and Grain Sorghum Production High Plains

Download or read book Economics of Water Management for Cotton and Grain Sorghum Production High Plains written by William Francis Hughes and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improved water management affords an alternative to the measures commonly used to offset the effects of a declining water supply. In many situations, where the continued decline in water levels has offset the increase in water supply from new wells, lowered pumps and installation of undergrowund delivery systems, a changed water management program may be the only means of avoiding a return to dryland farming. Because of competition for water during the first 2 weeds of August, the independently developed cotton and grain sorghum irrigation practices that maximize yields cannot be advantageously combined on the same form. Therefore, the management program must be modified to minimize the effects of competing demands for water. Four alternative water management systems may be followed if the operator prepares for them in advance. These alternatives, designated in this report as water management systems 1, 2, 3 and 4, differ only after August 1. With system 1, which uses the smallest amount of water, only cotton is irrigated after August 1. With system 2. which uses a little more water than system 1, a full-season hybrid sorghum is the only crop irrigated after August 1. System 3 combines the cotton irrigation program of system 1 with irrigation of sorghum hybrids planted about July 1. In system 4, the first water application on the full-season sorghum hybrids is made as in system 2, after which the water is shifted to the late-planted sorghum hybrids. Since systems 3 and 4 are heavy water users, they should not be used regularly. (...).
