The Scottsbluff Pinto Bean, J. H. Jensen Dec 1944

The Scottsbluff Pinto Bean, J. H. Jensen

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

Scottsbluff Pinto is the name of a new variety of pinto field bean being released this year by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station. The new bean variety is a selection from a cross between Great Northern and the common pinto bean. In a bean-breeding program conducted for the past several years by the Department of Plant Pathology, attempts have been made to obtain improved varieties of both field and garden beans for Nebraska. Although the breeding program was primarily concerned with the development of disease-resistant varieties, it was observed that Scottsbluff Pinto, possessing no notable disease resistance, has been outstanding …

Principles Of Irrigation Farming As Developed By American Field Experiments, Prabh Dyall Sikka May 1930

Principles Of Irrigation Farming As Developed By American Field Experiments, Prabh Dyall Sikka

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Irrigation is "the artificial application of water to the soil for the purpose of getting large and steady crop yields". It is supplementary to rainfall and the quantity of water applied and the time of application, therefore, must be determined by the character of the rainfall. Irrigation is usually practiced in those regions which have low rainfall as natural precipitation at such places is insufficient to meet the full water requirements of crops.

Bulletin No. 133 - Irrigation And Manuring Studies: The Effect Of Varying Quantities Of Irrigation Water And Manure On The Growth And Yield Of Corn, Frank S. Harris May 1914

Bulletin No. 133 - Irrigation And Manuring Studies: The Effect Of Varying Quantities Of Irrigation Water And Manure On The Growth And Yield Of Corn, Frank S. Harris

UAES Bulletins

Indian corn is one of the most important crops raised by American farmers. Anything that affects the corn crop of the American farmers. Anything that affects the corn crop of the United States has an influence on the prosperity of the entire country. From an economic point of view therefore, it is important to know as much about the production of this crop as possible. The corn plant also offers an excellent field for scientific investigation independent of any economic bearing.

Bulletin No. 105 - Factors Influencing Evaporation And Transpiration, John A. Widtsoe Aug 1909

Bulletin No. 105 - Factors Influencing Evaporation And Transpiration, John A. Widtsoe

UAES Bulletins

The irrigation investigations conducted by the Utah Experiment Station, some of the results of which form this *report, were undertaken for the purpose of adding to our knowledge of the natural laws upon which the art of irrigation may be safely built. The work has had for its dirrect object the study of the mutual relations of plants, soils and water, as these relations may indicate the most economic use of water for plant production. In pursuit of the investigations it became necessary not only to follow the movement of water in soils under irrigation conditions, but to determine also …

Bulletin No. 99 - Report On Irrigation And Drainage Investigations During 1905-1906, E. R. Morgan, W. W. Mclaughlin Dec 1906

Bulletin No. 99 - Report On Irrigation And Drainage Investigations During 1905-1906, E. R. Morgan, W. W. Mclaughlin

UAES Bulletins

A general plan for the scientific investigation of the laws governing plant production as influenced by the application of irrigation water, was outlined in 1900 by Dr. John A. Widtsoe as Director of the Utah Experiment Station. The detailed plans were prepared by the heads of the Chemical, Agronomy and Irrigation Department, under whose cooperation the work was to be carried on. In 1903 the Office of Experiment Stations of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, by contributing funds to this work, became a party to the experiments. Since then the investigations have been under the joint supervision of the …

The fact that the ancient and, to arid countries, indispensible art of irrigation lacks a scientific basis, is the justification of the decision taken two years ago by the officers of the Utah Experiment Station, to make irrigation the central subject of their investigations.

Bulletin No. 39 - "Farming Irrigation" And "Orchard Irrigation", A. A. Mills, E. S. Richman May 1895

Bulletin No. 39 - "Farming Irrigation" And "Orchard Irrigation", A. A. Mills, E. S. Richman

UAES Bulletins

The greater part of the matter given under the head "Farm Irrigation" is the result of five years' work. Some of the work reported gives the results obtained in fewer seasons. A great deal of the work was planned by Prof. J. VV. Sanborn, formerly Director of the Station, while the remainder was planned by the writer. The writer, however, has had charge of every detail of all of the field work from the beginning. Some of the matter has been published before, while a goodly portion of it has never been reported. For this publication the figures have been …
