Abstract:
As well capacities decline in the southern Ogallala region, optimized preplant decisions based on avaialble water are critical to enhancing the productivity and profitability of irrigated corn. Research at Bushalnd, Texas is evaluating irrigation x hybrid x population interactions and the effects on vapor pressure deficits.
