Studies in Water Requirements of Corn Bulletin 128
The Nebraska Experiment Station reports that optimal corn growth occurs when soil holds about 60 percent of its saturation water. Dry air raises crop water needs, doubling the water per pound of dry weight in a dry greenhouse versus a humid one. Fertility and manure affect water use, with more fertile soils needing less water and manure helping only in less fertile soils. The bulletin is free to Nebraska residents via the Agricultural Experiment Station, Lincoln.
