Drought resistance of range and pasture grasses [PDF]
Rainfall is the limiting factor in the success of the livestock industry on the western range. Precipitation is especially critical in the southern Great Plains, the Southwest, and the semi-desert areas of the Intermountain Region. Here drought and its accompanying overgrazing constitute the major range problems and have been responsible for serious ...

Breeding for Drought Resistance [PDF]
Drought may be defined as a period during which soil or plant water deficiencies affect growth and yield. Such moisture deficiencies may occur through a reduction in the moisture supply or through an increase in demand. Drought is a recurrent problem of rainfed agriculture throughout the world.
