Irrigation water supplies are becoming expensive and scarce in the western United States. As a water management tool, production functions indicating relationships between crop yields and evapotranspiration have been utilized. Models have been developed using this information. Transferability of these models is dependent upon understanding the moisture extraction characteristics for a given crop under a given set of climatic and soil conditions. Therefore, a wide range of water stress conditions must be produced. The objective of our research was to generate production function data for sugar beets (Beta vulgaris) as influenced by drought stress under irrigation.
