Crop water Needs - Dry Farming Principles and Practices, Crop Production | Crop Production Notes- Agricultural Engineering PDF Download

Crops differ both in terms of their daily water needs and the duration of their total growing period. Consequently, crop type is a chief factor influencing irrigation water needs. Crops with high daily needs and a long total growing season require much more water than those with relatively lower daily needs and shorter growing seasons. Therefore, a key step towards reducing irrigation water needs is selecting those crop varieties that have a lower water demand but that still provide sufficient added value. 

In Tables 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3, values of typical water needs, average length of growing season, and the total water demand for different crops are given.
