Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soybean growth, yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop water use efficiency (CWUE or crop water productivity, CWP) under different irrigation levels in three different soil types in the same field were investigated concurrently. Treatments in each soil type were: (i) variable rate irrigation (VRI), (ii) fixed rate full irrigation (FR‐1″)

Integrating livestock and cropping systems: Interseeding cereal rye into corn for grazing
Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.Abstract Interseeding annual forages into growing corn may be an alternative for both cover and grazing in temperate regions of the United States. A 4‐year experiment evaluated the effect of interseeding cereal rye (Secale cereale) into corn for grazing after harvest on corn grain, forage biomass yield and quality, soil health, and estimated spatial ...
