Irrigation Scheduling using Crop Water Stress Index for Wheat Crop
Author(s): Aschalew Cherie Workneh*, K.S. Hari Prasad and C.S.P. Ojha
The study aimed to assess the viability of utilizing canopy temperature-based Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) for irrigation scheduling in wheat
crop (Triticum Aestivum L.). Field experiments were carried out for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 cropping periods at the irrigation laboratory of the
Civil Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Roorkee, India. The experimental field was divided into six plots, each
subjected to different irrigation treatments based on the depletion of Total Available Soil Water (TASW) within the crop's root zone. These irrigation
treatments maintained varying levels of Water Depletion in the Soil (WDS) of TASW, encompassing 10%, 25%, 35% and 50%, as well as fully
irrigated (non-stressed) and extremely dry (fully stressed) conditions. Multiple regression analyses between meteorological and crop paramet.. Read More»
