Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book catalogs water requirement measurements made in the Great Plains in 1910 and 1911. The author, a Biophysicist in Charge of Biophysical Investigations, and a Plant Physiologist, Alkali and Drought Resistant Plant Investigations, utilize specially designed 250 lb pots to measure the water requirement of different crops grown under field conditions. The book discusses the findings, which vary depending on factors like soil conditions, temperature, humidity, wind velocity, and solar radiation. The reported water requirements are compared against one another to determine which plant species are most efficient in their use of water. This book is an important resource for scientists and agriculturists seeking to understand and improve crop production in semiarid regions.
