An evaluation of soil warming for increased crop production

Creator:

Rykbost, K. A.

Abstract:

In regions where soil temperatures limit plant growth, artificial soil warming may be an economically feasible practice. This hypothesis was evaluated in a soil warming experiment near Corvallis, Oregon. This experiment was prompted by the observation that multiple use of waste heat discharged in the condenser cooling water of thermal...

Dissertation
Crop response to warming soils above their natural temperatures

Creator:

Rykbost, K. A., Boersma, L., Mack, H. J., Schmisseur, W. E., and Oregon State University. Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract:

Multiple use of waste heat from power plants may become an important consideration in their development and siting. The heat in the cooling water must be considered a resource to be managed for effective use. Soil warming was suggested as one of several possible productive uses for the heated discharges....
