Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the irrigation methods used on four crops: Wheat, Alfalfa, Potatoes and Sugar Beets. The author, who conducted experiments at the Dominion Experimental Station in Lethbridge, details the optimal time and frequency of irrigation for each of these crops. The author begins by discussing the significance of irrigation in Western Canada, particularly the role it plays in mitigating the effects of recurring droughts. The experiments, conducted between 1922 and 1938, tested different irrigation techniques, such as varying the number, timing, and amounts of irrigation applied at several growth stages, to discover the most impactful irrigation practices for the region. The findings provide valuable insights into crop water usage rates, evaporation rates, soil moisture retention, and the relationship between moisture content and crop yield. The author also includes vital meteorological observations collected during the 17-year experimental period, showing the variability of seasonal precipitation and its influence on irrigation requirements. Ultimately, this comprehensive exploration of irrigation practices offers a wealth of practical knowledge and serves as a valuable reference for farmers, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in optimizing crop yields through effective water management.
