Vegetative physiology of cotton as related to the Crop Water Stress Index

Alou, Abdourahamane, 1959- January 1989 (has links)
This study was undertaken to investigate Gossypium hirsutum L. reproductive physiology and metabolic activities as they relate to the Crop Water Stress Index. Five treatments were established based on the CWSI. These were the maximum stress levels allowed for each treatment. The indices investigated were .16, .35, .36, .40, and .62. Daily tagging of opened flowers in each treatment was conducted throughout the season. Diffusive resistance, transpiration, apparent photosynthesis, and yield were measured. There was no significant difference in treatment yield. Plants irrigated at stress level either below .30 or above .40, tended to yield relatively low compared to plants maintained between .30 and .40. Floral production, abscission and boll retention were negatively correlated to CWSI. Negative relationships were also found between apparent photosynthesis, transpiration, leaf area and CWSI. A two day lag response was observed between a decrease in CWSI values resulting from irrigation, and daily flowering increase.

ESTIMATION OF WATER CONTENT, TRANSPIRATION RATE, AND WATER POTENTIAL OF COTTON FROM STEM DIAMETER MEASUREMENTS USING A LINEAR VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL TRANSFORMER.

IMANI, BEHZAD. January 1987 (has links)
The Linear Voltage Differential Transformer (LVDT) is an accurate sensor for stem diameter measurements. Based on the results of this dissertation it was found that stem diameter [mm] was related to water content [grams] of the cotton crop by the following equation: W(D) = 0.114(D)³ˑ¹⁸² Also the ratio of stem diameter contraction rate to the rate of water loss in cotton was experimentally determined to be: (dW/dt)/(dD/dt) = (0.166 [g min⁻¹])/(0.535 [μm min⁻¹]) = (.0469% per minute)/(.0039% per minute). Similarly the cellular water potential was derived to be a non linear function of stem diameter in cotton: ψ(t) - ψₒ = 2 ε ln (D(t)/ Dₒ) + πₒDₒ² [(1/D²(t)) – (1/Dₒ²)]. Based on this work, the grower can estimate the water content, transpiration rate and water potential of the cotton crops via stem diameter measurements. Moreover, a computer system can be implemented to remotely keep track of the water status of the field, and control the irrigation system. A general model was proposed to quantify the nature of input-output relation of the cotton crop. A proposed simplified model based on stem diameter is also introduced. The stem diameter measurements can be used as an index for estimation of cotton's water content, transpiration rate, and water potential. These three parameters and the proposed simplified model established a plant based predictive irrigation scheduling technique. The electrical output of the LVDT was quite noisy. To remove the noise and demodulate the data, two cascade circuits were designed and implemented. First, the external output circuit removed the noise and isolated the LVDT. Second, the LVDT signal conditioner demodulated the phase information from the secondary windings which were produced by the movement of the rod. By the implementation of these circuits, 1 m of the rod displacement resulted in 1.14 mv of dc voltage changes in the output.

Soil water potential as related to the Crop Water Stress Index of irrigated cotton

Copeland, Stephen Mark, 1955- January 1989 (has links)
The application of the crop water stress index (CWSI) method to irrigation scheduling is enhanced by knowledge of the relationship between CWSI and soil water potential (SWP) and how this relationship is affected by soil texture. A study using the same cultivar of cotton on three different soils was conducted in southern Arizona over a single growing season. Detailed data were collected of CWSI and soil moisture content for several treatments that scheduled irrigations at threshold CWSI values. CWSI was correlated with soil water potential values calculated from pressure plate determined moisture release curves. Spatial variability of soil characteristics necessitated use of average rather than plot specific moisture release curves. Analysis showed a linear CWSI-SWP relationship that varied greatly with soil depth and study site. The study concluded that soil profile average SWP alone does not normalize the CWSI between sites with different soil textures.
