Water use by spring wheat tracked at Beaverlodge farm
Canada Department of Agriculture field study at Beaverlodge Alberta during 1953 and 1954 measured soil moisture and rainfall while Thatcher wheat progressed from seed to maturity. Most water uptake occurred during a rapid grand growth phase from late June to late July, with about two thirds of total water absorbed then. In 1953 13.3 inches of water were used. in 1954 15.0 inches. On stubble the crop yielded less grain (24.2 bushels) yet used more water than when on fallow (31.3 bushels). Findings imply soil moisture under good fertility is usually just adequate for about a 30 bushel crop, with moisture stress more severe at lower fertility.
