| Abstract/Contents: | "The decrease in water supply/demand ratios in the western U.S. is stimulating the region's municipalities to implement water conservation incentives. In response, many homeowners and businesses are replacing high water-using landscapes with drip-irrigated xeriscapes. Concurrently, due to concerns over food quality and safety, more home and community drip-irrigated vegetable gardens are being established in many of these municipalities. Unfortunately, due to a lack of adequate water-requirement information, these landscapes and gardens may receive inappropriate irrigation volumes required for acceptable plant quality and/or yield. This paper briefly describes research-demonstration projects that are developing climatebased (Penman-Monteith reference ET), canopy area-adjusted landscape or crop coefficients (KL or KC) for scheduling microirrigations in droughttolerant landscapes and small vegetable gardens in northwestern New Mexico. Results indicated that an overall KL of 0.3 would be appropriate for water management planning on xeric landscapes while canopy area-adjusted KCs ranging from 0.6 to 0.9 provided maximum yields of tomatoes, chile peppers, and sweet corn." |
