Shallow Groundwater Use by Alfalfa
Disposal of saline drainage water is a significant problem for irrigated agriculture. One proposal is to recycle drainage water to irrigate salt tolerant crops until the volume has been reduced sufficiently to enable final disposal by evaporation. Part of this concept requires in-situ crop water use from shallow groundwater; and data is needed to quantify the potential use of groundwater by alt...
متن کاملAlfalfa: Crop for the Future
Alfalfa use by dairy cattle has decreased in recent years because of excessive nonprotein nitrogen and low fiber digestibility. Ideal attributes for plant modification of alfalfa may include those that increase milk potential per acre and/or per ton, enhance digestible NDF, improve protein content and amino acid balance, improve agronomic traits for insect protection (safer forage supply), herb...
متن کاملEstuarine flooding and managed retreat.
The concentration of industrial, residential and agricultural activity on the lowlands surrounding our estuaries has led to an increasing problem of flood risk in these areas. However, flood hazards have been, in large part, the result of past human interference in the estuary system and as such may be reduced by more enlightened management. This paper examines the problems of flood risk and di...
متن کاملThe Response of Winter Wheat to Flooding
The effect of flooding can be a serious problem for wheat farmers, even at dry land condition. Amount of flooding damage depends on duration flooding, developmental stage, wheat type and variety. Therefore as a factorial experiment in randomized complete design based on winter bread wheat cultivars (Pishtaz, Marvdasht, Shiraz, Zarin, Shahriar, C-81-4, Sardari, Agosta seed, FGS and Azar2) at sta...
