Abstract: Alfalfa yields decrease when water supply is inadequate. In drought years, starting and continuing with full irrigation until the water supply has been exhausted will limit full production to earlier harvests. The objective ...

Abstract: Addition of a strong acid to irrigation water could enhance sorption of boron and arsenic in a Lahontan Valley field. Approximately 90 soil samples, taken from a field irrigated with mildly brackish drainage water (TDS ≈ ...

Abstract: In 1982, 405 measurements of the subsurface drainage water quality parameter electrical conductivity (EC) in dS/m were collected. The data were obtained from 15 subsurface drains on 9.3 ha (23 acres) of irrigated agricultural ...

Abstract: The literature was reviewed regarding the sorption and transport of a nonionic organic pesticide aldicarb, an extremely toxic and relatively water soluble carbamate insecticide that has been detected in ground water across ...

Abstract: Flow paths to drain laterals are needed to identify local flow to drains and regional flow. This paper describes the depths at which the flow paths of the regional aquifer‐flow system and the local saturated ground‐water‐flow ...

Abstract: In the absence of irrigation, water from a water table below the root zone can sometimes sustain crop growth. This study was conducted to determine whether alfalfa grown without irrigation, but in the presence of a water ...

Abstract: An adverse relationship between irrigated agriculture and wetlands in arid regions could be mitigated by using recovered shallow ground water for irrigation. Salt and water balances for the Carson Division of the Newlands ...
