Belleville, Ontario
My thoughts are 1" of water for every 7 bu. There is a wide variation on this, due to tillage practices (points for no-till!), variety and nutrition of the plant. the more the roots explore the soil, the better, so I'm trying to learn as much as I can about growing roots. Also, K is important for closing stomata openings, so higher available K to the plant will help increase the bu/unit of water.
