Water Requirements of Wheat and Cotton on a High Water-table Soil under Arid Conditions
Keyword(s):
SUMMARYThe effects of irrigation on the yields of wheat and cotton were studied on a sandy clay loam soil, with a water-table at 7 ft below ground, under the arid conditions of Lyallpur. The conventional practice of providing 19-acre in. of water to Mexican wheat and 25-acre in. to American cotton proved to be a wasteful and unproductive practice on such soils. High yields of both these crops could be obtained without any subsequent watering after an initial 4-in. irrigation applied for seedbed preparation and sowing, while one 3-in. irrigation after sowing was needed to obtain maximum yields.
