| WATER NEEDS OF PASTURES USED IN DAIRY PRODUCTION. | Ideally, pasture management should emphasize production of optimum forage yield and quality, without compromising the environment. Accurate irrigation scheduling, therefore, plays an important role in the success of a dairy enterprise by affecting forage yield and quality, irrigation input and energy usage, and environmental pollution. For years farmers arbitrarily have used an irrigation guideline of 25 mm of irrigation water per week for most temperate grasses and legumes, regardless of season or region. |
