Use of water by cultivated plants in the field
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
The problem of the use of water by cultivated plants during the period of their growth is of great scientific interest. It is certainly of prime interest for the farmers of a dry region where to secure a yield everything depends in most cases upon the problem of moisture.
When studying the problem of the use of water by cultivated plants under field conditions the importance of extremely unstable and widely varying meteorological factors is evident. The fluctuations are especially large and irregular with respect to moisture.
