Dry bean canopy pictures taken from our research plot and canopy analysis using our own software today. From top to bottom: fully irrigated, rain fed, fully irrigated at beginning and dryland after July 17. Three replicates on each treatment. Beans are definitely showing stress.
@Meisner6 If you send me a top down canopy picture and a estimated height of the crop once a week, we can try to estimate current crop water use of the stressed crop.
Our rain gauge registered 0.23’’ of rain on Saturday July 27. Although this is far less than crop needs, every drop counts in this #watercutoff situation in western NE and eastern WY. If you are Gering Valley, please share how much rain you got and how your crops look like now.
