Namken, L. N., Wiegand, C. L. and Willis, W. O., 1974. Soil-and air-temperatures as limitations to more efficient water use. Agric. Meteorol., 14: 169--181.
Cultural and genetic approaches to moderating adverse temperatures that limit wateruse efficiencies in crop production are examined. It is suggested that cultural and genetic modifications that shorten the growing season or allow the growing season to be shifted to a cooler or lower potential-evapotranspiration part of the year offer the most practical approach for improving water-use efficiency. A short-season cotton-production system is described as an example of the cultural and genetic advances that have been capitalized on for one major field crop.

Traffic during alfalfa harvest operations can cause soil compaction and damage to newly growing stems. Root exploration for soil water and nutrients, forage growth dynamics, and final yield can all be affected. The objectives of this study were to determine the long-term effects of harvest traffic a
Ground temperature measurements are largely used in agronomy, hydrology, or climatology. As temperature variations in the subsurface depends on its thermal diffusivity which itself is a function of water content, temperature measurements are also relevant in hydrogeophysics. In this paper, we model
