Corn Soil-Water Extraction and Effective Rooting Depth in a Silt-Loam Soil

Addresses crop soil-water extraction amounts and patterns, with an emphasis on corn and discusses how these patterns can be impacted by soil properties, irrigation management practices, and other factors. In addition, the concept of effective rooting depth is addressed and explained in the context of irrigation and nutrient management for corn grown in a silt-loam soil.
