Water-Use Rates of Irrigated Pecan Trees in Oklahoma

Abstract

This study is concerned with the water-use rates of irrigated pecan trees in Oklahoma. The main objectives are to determine the water-use rate of the pecan trees and the effects of second year irrigation on nut characteristics, nut yield and leaf mineral concentrations. A soil analysis was also performed to determine field capacity, permanent wilting point, available water and textural classification of the soils at different locations and depths in the test area.
