Abstract:
... Revised irrigation demands are calculated for the 21 northernmost counties in Texas, identified as Region A, using the TAMA (Texas A&M-Amarillo) agricultural water use demand estimation model. Year 2000 demands are presented using the existing mixture of crops, average evapotranspiration values and actual irrigation application practice values. Current demand values are expected to exceed the allo ...

Abstract:
... SynopsisTemperature was a highly important factor in crop yields. In Spink county, the effect of June and July average maximum temperatures on wheat and corn yields, respectively, overshadowed the effects of rainfall for these two months. At Big Spring, temperature effects also overshadowed the effects of seasonal rainfall. An explanation for the overshadowing effect of temperature is that summer ...

The short-season concept (early defoliation and early harvest) offers, perhaps, the greatest potential for increasing the efficiency of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production and for minimizing insect control requirements in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Early defoliation also allows harvesting during the most optimum period in relation to expected rainfall. The fruiting, earliness, yie ...

Abstract:
... Long peduncles, characteristic of some primitive race stocks of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., could be disadvantageous agronomically because they may possibly grow at the expense of early maturity and of fiber production. However, they may have value as a deterrent to larvae of pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders), if incorporated into a pubescent strain. We determined that Texas 71 ...
