if the volume of the soil is less than the plants require, the applications of water and nutrients should be more intense to compensate for the difference.
sprinklers are not desirable because they wet the plants, making them susceptible to leaf diseases.
root systems
young and small vegetable plants that have shallow roots down to 1 foot deep are broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, endive, garlic, leek, lettuce,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], onion, parsley, peas, radish and spinach.

rainwater harvesting
you should apply water long enough for it to soak down deeper than the root system of the plants. a screwdriver with a 12-inch shank or a small-diameter rod is easy to push into moist soil.
most vegetable plants require about 1 inch of water per week with moderate weather conditions.
the amount of moisture in the soil required by plants is based on stage of growth, size, specie of plants, soil type, mulch and climate (temperature, rainfall, humidity and wind). the critical times for water in vegetable plants occur during germination,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pollination and development of fruit.
the program will be hosted by the brazos county master gardeners in cooperation with the brazos county office of texas agrilife extension.
apply water during the morning so the plants can dry before night.
vegetable plants that have a medium size root system, that is, about 2 feet deep, are bush beans, pole beans, chard, cucumber, eggplant, muskmelon, mustard, peas, pepper, rutabaga, summer squash, and turnip.
the more efficient irrigation methods are a drip system, a soaker hose (on the surface or buried 1-foot deep), a root-watering rod and "texas pots," gallon plastic jugs with caps and cuts/holes near bottom or planter cans buried 6 to 9 inches deep between or near plants.
watering methods
learn about water demand and quantity. hear how to capture rainwater for landscape and gardens and make a rainwater barrel.
vegetable plants with a larger root system, from 3 to 10 feet deep, are artichoke, asparagus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], beets, carrot, corn, okra,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], parsnip, irish potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, winter squash, tomato and watermelon.
water is the basic ingredient during the processes of photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration.
if you use a sprinkler or a hand nozzle to apply water you should apply mulch to prevent soil splash on the plants and conserve moisture in the soil.
water dissolves the nutrients in the soil. then the roots of plants absorb 90 to 98 percent of their nutrients as a solution to be healthy, grow and mature. without enough water a plant's leaves will slowly turn yellow-tan, wilt and die. most vegetable plants require about 25 percent water and 25 percent air in the soil. water replaces air in the soil. after applying too much water, leaves will become brown from the tip and edges, and then they will wilt and die.
water is required continuously to develop healthy and productive plants. water is absorbed by the roots, then moves the nutrients to the leaves and fruit.
a seminar on the subject will be conducted on oct. 16 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the brazos center.
adequate rainfall amounts make water appear to be a simple requirement for plant life. but, extended hot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dry and windy weather means brazos county gardeners must irrigate based on their plant's water needs. rainwater is best for plants as compared to the quality of underground water in this area.
