Modeling Spring Wheat Production As Influenced By Climate And Irrigation, V. Philip Rasmussen Jr.
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A model has been developed that predicts spring wheat grain and dry matter yield. Preliminary tests show very favorable results when predicting grain yield in two different climatic regimes, one being a dryland and another being an irrigated area. The strengths of the model lie in its simplicity, relatively available input data, and low computer processing time cost. Weakness of the model stem from the assumptions that allow its simplicity. The basic assumption in the model is that grain and dry matter yield can be related to the ratio of actual to potential transpiration, computed for each of five phenological …
