Provides consumptive use and net irrigation requirements for economically important crops in 27 climatic regions in Oregon. Computations are based on the modified Blaney-Criddle calculation method and climatic database information. Contains tables of: 1) The typical growing seasons of selected Oregon crops by region and 2) Crop water (ETcrop) and...
Response of agricultural crops to irrigation water deficit is well-understood at the field scale. Broader scale (watershed and county levels) studies have been less frequently performed. Data collection at the field level for extensive areas is time consuming and expensive. The importance of studies at a broader scale for evaluating...
Both red (Trifolium pratense L.) and white (Trifolium repens L.) clover
seed yields can be highly variable and low in western Oregon. The objectives of
this study were to: i) determine crop water requirements and supplemental
irrigation timing, and ii) quantify the effects of soil and water status on
inflorescence...
Freshwater resources are becoming more and more scarce worldwide, and rights to water use is becoming more competitive between stakeholders. Irrigation for agricultural purposes accounts for a large portion of freshwater usage. Using drought tolerant plant species in irrigated pastures could become a necessity in order to reduce competition for...

The CERES-Wheat Crop Growth and Development model treats temperature,
nitrogen and water stresses as limiting factors. For each day the model calculates a
stress index for temperature, N and water, compares the magnitude of the indices,
and then adjusts the calculated daily potential growth using the index of the most...
