Water Requirement for Wheat Production | Agronomy
Article shared by :
Under favorable environment, about 1000 m3 of water is needed to produce 1.0 t of wheat. About half of this is used in transpiration and the other half is lost by evaporation and unavoidable deep percolation. Under less favourable conditions, about 5000 m3 water is needed to produce 1.0 t of wheat. On an average, […]
