Title	Furrow Diking Technology for Agricultural Water Conservation and its Impact on Crop Yields in Texas

Creator	Krishna, J. Hari Arkin, Gerald F.

Description	Furrow diking is a practical, efficient and low-cost technique to conserve water and increase crop yields. Improvements in diker design and the increased use of herbicides have resulted in the rapid spread of furrow diking in the Texas High Plains and other regions. To quantify the long-term effects of diking on crop yields, a computer simulation approach was used. Three crop models for sorghum, corn and cotton were combined with surface runoff hydrology algorithms, based on the USDA-SCS...
