Opis

With an eye to reducing water waste, agronomists, researchers, and growers consider methods for determining the amount of water crops need, given the nature of the crop and the climate in which it is grown. In the 16 papers printed here, attention is given to evapotranspiration responses to carbon dioxide and temperature, responses to water shortag
