Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the effects of crop sequence and tillage practices on water intake rates of Pullman silty clay loam and grain yields. The author presents findings from a six-year study conducted on the US Department of Agriculture's Southwestern Great Plains Research Center in Bushland, Texas. The study focused on determining how growing alfalfa and implementing different tillage practices impact water intake and grain yields. The author highlights that alfalfa increased intake rates for several years after being plowed under, with the highest rates observed in the second year following its removal. Additionally, deep-chiseling to a depth of 13 to 15 inches was found to increase intake rates for about four years after the tillage operation. These findings suggest that alfalfa and deep-chiseling can be effective practices for improving water intake in Pullman silty clay loam soils, a key consideration for farmers in the High Plains region of Texas and similar environments.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book reports on years of detailed research studying the relationship between soil moisture, fertilizer amounts, and grain yields of irrigated grain sorghum. The author conducted field experiments with various moisture and fertilizer treatments, then carefully measured results to determine optimal combinations for highest yields. The work was carried out at the height of the Green Revolution, an era of major advancements in agricultural methods, and had a profound impact on the way that farmers irrigated grain sorghum. Thanks to its potential for increasing food and animal feed production in the developing world, grain sorghum remains an important crop today, and the author's work is still cited for its groundbreaking contribution to knowledge of grain sorghum growth and production. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in soil science, agronomy, or crop production.
