Update: Yield and Water Use of Field Peas and Chickpeas Under Irrigation
November 7, 2019
Research in southwest Nebraska looks at potential water savings from adding field peas and chickpeas in corn-soybean rotations where irrigation water is limited. Both pea crops efficiently used early-season precipitation for good yields.
Yield and Water Use of Field Peas and Chickpeas Under Irrigation
November 7, 2019
In southwest Nebraska, irrigating corn and soybeans with limited water is challenging due to typically dry weather conditions and high crop water use (i.e., evapotranspiration or ET) in July and August.
Field Pea and Chickpea Germination and Yield as Affected by Tillage
October 17, 2019
Research conducted with field peas and chickpeas near Grant found that yield increased slightly with the use of tillage; however, tillage was not recommended for dryland and semi-arid conditions.
Study of Wheat Behind Field Peas, Chickpeas, Soybeans and Fallow
October 4, 2019
Field demonstration plots near Grant compare water availability, crop water use efficiency, yield, and other factors when wheat is planted after fallow, field peas, chickpeas, and soybeans.
Yield and Water Use of Field Peas and Chickpeas Under Irrigation
March 21, 2019
