Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Management, Consumptive Use, and Nitrogen Fertilization of Irrigated Winter Wheat in Western Kansas The experimental area was moldboard-plowed, harrowed, and floated in August in preparation for preplanting irrigation. After irrigation and germination of volunteer plants, the area was undercut with sweeps, then harrowed, fertilized, and seeded in late September. Comanche wheat was seeded in 1954 and 1955 and Bison in 1957, 1958, and 1959 at the rate of 60 to 90 pounds per acre with a 7 -inch, 13-hole disk drill. Statistical design was randomized block, split plot with 4 or 5 replicates. Irrigation basins (main plots) were 50 by 50 feet; each basin included 3 nitrogen subplots and a check plot in crop years 1954 and 1955, and 4 nitrogen subplots and a check plot in 1957 to 1959.
