Abstract:
Plants are sessile organisms requiring mechanisms that enable them to balance water supply and demand in dry environments. Demand (D) is largely driven by canopy size (transpirational leaf area), although differences in transpiration per unit leaf area also occur. Supply (S) is primarily driven by water capture via the root system. Drought stress can be defined as the situation where supply of water cannot meet demand of the crop, such that water availability is the limiting factor for biomass accumulation. Under such conditions, plants will need to reduce D in order to meet the limited S, acc

Abstract. Greater than 80% of the irrigated area in the Southern High Plains is served by center-pivot irrigation, but the area served by subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) is increasing due to several factors including declining well yields and improved yields and crop water productivity (CWP), particularly for cotton. Not as well established is the degree to which the reduced soil water evaporation (E) in SDI systems affects the soil water balance, water available to the crop, and overall water savings.

Abstract:
The agroclimatic potential of the forest–savanna transition zone of Nigeria for the cultivation of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) was investigated. Five phenological stages of the crop formed the basic unit of time for the investigation. Selected agroclimatological thermal and moisture indices were measured daily and processed into ten-day (decadal) averages for the 1993 and 1994 cropping seasons. The thermal indices, temperature and photoperiods were optimal for sorghum growth but, on the basis of the distribution of rainfall and actual water availability in relation to the crop's water consumptio

Abstract:
In recent years, many sorghum producers in the more marginal (<600 mm annual rainfall) cropping areas of Queensland and northern New South Wales have used skip row configurations in an attempt to improve yield reliability and reduce sorghum production risk. This paper describes modifications made to the APSIM sorghum module to account for the difference in water usage and light interception between alternative crop planting configurations, and then demonstrates how this new model can be used to quantify the long-term benefits of skip sorghum production.

Abstract:
SUMMARYReduction of leaf area in sorghum without tillers (uniculm sorghum) might result in conservation of water at early stages of growth and hence in stability of grain yield under dry conditions. In two experiments in south-east Queensland, Australia, tillers were removed by hand to examine the growth of uniculm sorghum. Tiller removal promoted root development at the flag leaf stage but significantly reduced shoot dry matter and lowered grain yield by about 20% in a wet season. The saving in soil water as a result of tiller removal was relatively small but statistically significant.

Abstract. Grain sorghum is one of the top five cereal crops and an important grain crop throughout the world. It is generally considered more drought tolerant compared to other grain crops such as maize. Recently, in the U.S. eastern Coastal Plain region, there was an emphasis on increasing regional grain production in which grain sorghum played an important role. The region’s soils have low water holding capacities that combined with high rainfall variability cause crops frequently to be exposed to water stress. In this research, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the yield response of t

Abstract:
Growth and water use were studied in field-grown sunflower and sorghum, mainly in a long drying cycle, though other water treatments were included. When water was plentiful, sorghum was the more productive, but in the drying cycle the order was reversed, largely because sunflower extracted more water. This, together with a smaller leaf area and close control of transpiration rate through stornatal sensitivity to air humidity, ensured a far more favourable leaf water status in sunflower, contributing to its much faster net assimilation rate. In view of the species' different photosynthetic path
